https://dearlstephens.substack.com/p/republicans-are-murdering-democracyLately, the mainstream media (MSM) has once again showed a penchant for losing the thread on the biggest news event of our times. This, in large part, was how Donald Trump was improbably elected in 2016, lighting the match that now threatens to incinerate our democracy.
In their zeal to look for both sides of a story in which one of those sides was openly asking Russia for help, making fun of the disabled, and touting pussy-grabbing as an elitist sport, the mainstream media lost its way completely, and now finds itself one election cycle away from losing the very freedoms a press enjoys in a functioning democracy.
By not thinking critically, and contextualizing what is actually happening around us, the MSM has advocated its enormous power and responsibility to the American people.
We are on the brink of losing a democracy that has survived 246 years through World Wars, Civil Wars and wars on the very people who actually built this country, because of a Big Lie.
Is there a bigger story out there, MSM?

the media could help Dems by stopping the negative nonsense about anything related to Biden. I cheered out loud when I heard her say that. The host didn't reply to that statement.
