Yes yes yes - but as long as journalism schools are teaching students to be activists and editors are allowing this type of reporting I don’t see anything changing or improving in the future. There seems to be no motivation from anyone with any control to put a stop to this.

Yes and It is also that they are hypnotized by the appropriate govt narrative. They literally can not believe that it could be false. They are told that anyone who questions the narrative is an infidel. For example, in the case of contradicting the vax narrative, they are labeled an antivaxxer and hence automatically should not be listened to.

It is like a religious cult - if one person admits they were wrong they are instantly shamed and ostracized by all their liberal coworkers and friends the the Twitter-sphere. Or worse lose their job and maybe their marriage.

As Tara wrote a few weeks ago, it is really rather similar to high school girls who group together and are mean to anyone who disagrees with the group. With all the same underhand power games. Name calling. Rumors behind their backs. Ostracized from the group. This keeps all the members of their "club" in line. https://tarahenley.substack.com/p/gossip-girls
