18. The media has a lot to do with the lack of accountability of the liars

If the media was not so interested in fluff then politicians would never dare to lie the way they do today, but the media is more interested in ratings.

When trump said "the media is the enemy of the people" he was right in some sense, granted that he called it that because he wanted the media to never point out his lies and his evil actions, but in some way they are the enemy of the people when they push forward the propaganda from the liars and when they are so keen to carry the water for the GOP.

Roosevelt said "What they want is a squabble and fuss, and they can have when we explain; and they cannot have it if we don't." Even then the media showed they were only interested in the squabble. Proof is that networks used to have the press secretary liars of the trump administration every day, they were "a good show", they brought ratings, but now when Biden has a professional providing real information, not attacking the media, not attacking the other party?, informing the public, that is not exciting, so they will not show it.

That is why I have to agree with the statement, not with the messenger, but with the statement. If the media does not want to help inform the public, if they feel they are there for a big show whether the actors lie or not, then they are doing the devils work, they are not patriots who can make those who infringe on our rights accountable for their deeds, they in fact become accomplices.
