In reply to the discussion: Eugene Robinson finally did what American "journalists" have been unwilling to do! [View all]senseandsensibility
(25,049 posts)but my opinion stands. Most corporate journalists, even the ones on "liberal" outlets sanewash and normalize these liars constantly. When they appear on MTP, the pushback to their lies is completely inadequate. The WH press corps is a joke. There are techniques they could be using and did use with Biden, such as uniting around one topic and not relenting until their question is answered, but they seemed to forget how to utilize them as soon as trump took office. I have a background in journalism, but you don't need that to see what's happening and I am hardly the first to notice it. And of course it has been reported by journalists from many outlets that tariffs are a tax on the American people, but that is completely different than adequately challenging the administration directly. Eugene Robinson did that, and I am willing to give him credit.
