The corporate media seems to lose its sense of outrage and curiosity

when R's are in charge. It's funny how that works. The white house press corps turned on a dime immediately after trump was sworn in and now never interrupts or screams. They seem to think we're all stupid and that video of the way they acted just weeks ago isn't available.

And regular reporters aren't much better. In one of today's many outrages, FAA personnel were summarily fired with no transparency at all. As Pete Buttigieg posted on BlueSky, "The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?"

Can you imagine what would have happened if Biden did this?

Simple business decision.
