The Media Cesspool Has Not Changed

[IBDaMann]

Donald Trump won the Presidency in a landslide in November 2024. Despite the MSM's total demonizing dishonesty and TDS-driven fear-mongering, more than half the country wasn't buying it. One might have thought that the MSM would have altered course and begun infusing some honesty into it's propaganda in order to appeal to a much broader audience.

NOPE!

Aside from Fox News becoming emboldened somewhat into once again sprinkling some honesty onto their otherwise cautious observance of DNC guidelines, and lawsuits causing CBS and the view to issue apologies, the MSM is only doubling down on its 2016 program of 24/7 demonization operations of everything Trump.
