A well-deserved decline

AMAC: "2023 – Media’s Year Of Moral Collapse"
Journalism schools may someday point to 2023 as the year of a final moral collapse for the corporate media – a point of no return ultimately reached after years of ethical decline and loss of credibility with the public.

This year, perhaps more than any other in history, America’s once lionized major news organizations proved they were not about “the news” at all, but about the protection of those in power and partisan politicians they favored.
And how.  Republicans - who make up just 3.4% of journalists - should be pushing back on the media relentlessly and without decorum:
There have been plenty of signs this year that the establishment press has entered a terminal decline. Future generations may see as a tipping point the moment when Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy used his platform during the GOP debate hosted by NBC News to turn the tables on moderator Kristen Welker and demanded that she apologize for her network’s dishonest coverage of the “Russiagate” hoax. Though perhaps no better indicator exists of the media’s current moral collapse than its inability to retract and apologize for the spectacular lies involved in its “Russiagate” hoax or its cover-up of the Hunter Biden laptop just before the 2020 election.
They're not even hiding their bias.  Just like Harvard, the media will wear your disapprobation like a badge of honor as they continue to shed jobs and fall into irrelevancy.

Media analysis cannot be more true, clear-eyed and perceptive than this:

Remind us: Which biased job-shedding corporate media organization had to pay a record $787 million fraudulent defamation settlement for its Big Lie advocacy smears in (cough) "2023, media's year of moral collapse"?

$787M Hint: It wasn't Newsmax. They'll be paying theirs in 2024.
