From Wajahat Ali’s Twitter:
Right-wing take over of Politico and CNN, plus mainstream outlets like CBS News and others actively courting Trumpers and pulling their punches for sake of GOP “access” reveals everything terrible about mainstream media and its normalization of fascism. It’s going to get worse.

Last year, a producer told me how low the bar had become for conservative voices on TV. They had to 1) Accept Biden won the election and 2) Not support white supremacy or be overtly white supremacist. It was very difficult to find these voices.
Mainstream media outlets like those listed above aren’t moving rightward, but they are normalizing “bothsides-ism”. That’s the problem; there aren’t both sides to be had here if you’re a sane person. Anyone who insists that there are both sides to this issue either doesn’t get it or is paid not to.
