MSNBC and CNN did just as much to get him re-elected as FOXNews did. Constantly normalizing the insane, picking at Biden and then Harris for every minor little thing when Trump literally shit his pants on live television and they didn't even bother to cover it. But Biden misspeaks once and they're practically breaking into live coverage with the news like it's some kind of national emergency.

I cannot watch those shows anymore, none of them, even the leftist ones partook in the both siderism that has now cost the country its freedom and democracy. Something else will have to rise, something more organic and less corporate controlled, but the mainstream media brought down our Democracy.
