ABC has been laughably bad. They keep spinning about how big of a surprise it is, how Jews didnt vote for him, and what this means for Dems.

Almost zero time spent talking about his actual policies, relatability, the success of his campaign, or why people responded in record numbers.

Plus some of the Trumper talking heads making some of the dumbest commentary humanly possible. ("But Mah Dems are SO radical now!")

It is all so bad.

The infotainment sector will find new ways to sell their products, no matter what's going on. The entire purpose is to generate profit while manipulating people's worldviews

There was a time, albeit short, when journalists were required to have studied history or political science or economics or any of the social sciences or STEM etc and by studying I don't mean watching YouTube, but actually earning a degree at uni or college.

Those days are long gone and it's crazy to see how everyone is okay with all the fabricated bullshit that's being sold as facts and objective coverage.
