Now that Donald Trump is back in office it means we get to hear more "freedom of the press" hyperventilating from self-aggrandizing media types. Of course, outlets like NPR would like us to believe that government funding keeps them independent, so keep their definition of "freedom" in mind.
"Government funding keeps them independent," eh? BWHA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!

Part of the real reason for the corporate media frustration stems from an earned lack of credibility that keeps getting lower by the day.
Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana explained it excellently this week. Watch:
John Kennedy (@SenJohnKennedy) ~ When I watched bits and pieces from the White House Correspondents Dinner this year, I listened to speaker after speaker “defend the freedom of the press.”
They wouldn’t have to defend it if they didn’t work so hard to undermine it every day.

Gina Beana Fofina (@Ginasassyass) ~ Indeed. The media is nothing but propaganda now.
