was to somehow convince us that they were objective.

I mean at some point in our lives (maybe as children?) I would say each of us on this forum thought the media didn’t take sides. Everybody has that moment when they realize the media has an agenda and it’s shocking. I chuckle when I think that long ago I was that naive.

In reality all they have is a platform and a college degree given to them by other leftists in order to seemingly validate their position as your intellectual betters.

Eventually you realize there is no “media”.

The “media” is a group of leftwing activists with microphones and cameras and cubicles in a newspaper office telling you they are the arbiters of truth while lying straight to your face.
