As she calls for a media reckoning, Parker Molloy speaks truth that will resonate with a lot of us, I suspect

I think this is generally too kind and forgiving - i don't believe most of them have 'twisted themselves into knots trying to appease' anyone. Largely, I think they've been active, willing participants knowing full well what they were doing and how it distorts the reality of what has been happening. Some of that is down to ownership. But even the percentage of actual Trump supporters out 'in the streets' tells us that there are probably also a disproportionate number active in media.

@wdlindsy We need an alternative to corporate media.

@wdlindsy the only problem with this, is that if Don wins, journalism as we know it will cease to exist. There will be no opportunity for a reckoning. It will be too late. Quite literally.

@markwyner Yes, that's right.

@Runyan50 For sure. We the citizens need to build something better, truer, more authentic, more morally centered, not owned and controlled by grubby, self-infatuated billionaires.

@sufferforme Could be. Could be too kind. But what I am paying attention to in her words is "call for a media reckoning."

@SearingTruth Wise words.

@OvertonDoors I agree with Parker Molloy that it's high time for a media reckoning. And I intend to do the little bit I can do to keep seconding her call and that of some astute others for such a reckoning.

@Alarod Why, indeed?
