Our hackish and corrupt media

Prolific CNN hack Brian Stelter (or as Fox News personality Tucker Carlson calls him -  "Jeff Zucker's eunuch") this past Sunday compared the media coverage of a Joe Biden administration to that of President Trump's tenure.





Perhaps the most hilarious bit of this monologue came near the end when Stelter indicated how refreshing it was for an administration to demand the media ask them tough questions, to insist on accountability, etc. This isn't exactly the ballsy move that some might believe given the Biden team knows darn well they'll receive constant fawning coverage or absolutely will not be held accountable.




 



Oh, and remember how chiding members of the media cut at the very heart of our deomcracy? Good times!


 



But the coup de grace of the media's hackish corruption is delivered in David Harsanyi's devastating tweet thread compiled two days before Biden took office and every day since he was sworn in (click below to see entire thread).





Just imagine how insufferable it'll be when VP Kamala Harris assumes office and we're reminded not of her utter failure as a public servant or inept POTUS candidacy but that she's the first female to assume the Oval Office. And won't that be fun to be derided as a racist again when criticizing policy stances of a President who happens to be a minority. Ah, but this'll be double the finger wagging from our media betters as they will undoubtedly let loose with charges of misogyny as well. Yeah, can't wait.
