It’s no longer a tacit acknowledgment that the media’s influence is dying. Axios’ co-founder begrudgingly admits that the power of this institution is degrading due to a wholesale lack of trust from the public. The liberal media got ahead of its skis trying to destroy Donald Trump. In the process, the man has been elected president of the United States twice. At the same time, the legacy press has taken the blows for being serially incorrect and laughably inaccurate in their reporting to cover for Democrats. The media was hoisted by their own petard, and now millions are flocking to alternative sources for information.
No one cares what these prominent newspapers say. They’re all ignored, mocked, or spit on by the voters, and they’ve earned it. Speaking with The Free Press, Jim VandeHei cited three examples that led to the collapse of trust in the media:
- Twitter exposed supposedly objective journalists
- The coverage of the COVID pandemic, the ‘defund the police’ madness, and the overall distaste for the media being the word police.
- The lack of coverage of Joe Biden’s precipitous mental decline.
