The corporatist media seeks one thing: profit.

The easiest path for that was/is kowtowing to the Apricot Appeaser and his simplistic base. As long as they get clicks they do not care. Oh, sure, every once in a while they commit a journalism as Jeff Tiederich says but for the most part they play bothsidesism. In the case of AOC they, imo, intentionally played her up as some wild-eyed bomb-throwing Anarchist.

What actually has happened with AOC, again imo, is that she has grown in her office. She comes across as a formidable politician. Even though her thoughts and ideas were good for her district and resulted in her election she has expanded beyond that in a very real and impressive way.
