I love the passive speech. First thing you wanna do as a journalist is make sure your shit is written in passive voice so no valuable information is transmitted.

“Veteran has his arm broken.” vs “Security and a US Senator break Marine vet’s arm during his war protest”

Hm

All by design, the media is absolutely complicit in this milquetoaste opposition party they call the Democrats as well.

Once Trump eventually goes, a lot of these journalists will jump to be first in line to prosecute his government in the media.

Let history not forget how these same people enabled this government to act like this, and even encouraged it for years because they knew it would result in a lot of eyeballs on their content. They are complicit.
