As she calls for a media reckoning, Parker Molloy speaks truth that will resonate with a lot of us, I suspect:
"For years, major news outlets have twisted themselves into knots trying to appease critics on the right. In the process, they've alienated not just the left but anyone who cares about honest, fearless journalism."

It's Time for a Media Reckoning—No Matter Who Wins Tomorrow
For too long, legacy media outlets have only responded to right-wing criticism. That needs to change.Parker Molloy (The Present Age)
"Donald recently called America 'the garbage can of the world,' and this is what he had to say about actual human beings back in September:
'The people that surround [Kamala Harris]—they’re Scum. They’re scum. And they want to take down our country. They are absolute garbage.'
Good to know.
We’re five days out. The media keeps getting it wrong."

Lincoln Project helpfully provides us with a beaucoup of times when the Garbage Can Man Trump has called Kamala Harris' supporters — and America itself — garbage.
I'm continuing to hashtag New York Times and Washington Post as I post this item because both media outlets should be royally shamed, though they're evidently well beyond shame.

The Garbage Can Can
Take a shot every time Trump calls Americans who don't support him “garbage."YouTube
"But you want to know something that is true? Just last month, Donald Trump declared at a rally that 'the people that surround [Harris], they’re scum—they’re scum—and they want to take down our country. They’re absolute garbage.'
That really did happen.
And you know who just analogized America—the entire United States—to a 'garbage can' in his 'closing argument' to voters?
If you guessed Donald Trump, you’re right."

"As ever, all the money in the situation laid on the side of the lie, not the truth. The occasional independent media publication—The Drudge Report and, if it can be said, Proof—getting to the truth of the matter notwithstanding, it really seems as though the truth of any matter is currently the least valuable currency in America."

"All this, finally, is why America may soon collapse. Because a POTUS who said a very reasonable thing had that thing transmogrified into contemptible disinformation by two unscrupulous far-right billionaires, and a bunch of corporate media outlets under the thumb of unscrupulous billionaires ran with what they saw as a very lucrative non-story-cum-story."

FACT CHECK: No, President Biden Didn’t Call Donald Trump Supporters “Garbage”
The viral lie—spread to hundreds of millions by Trump and Elon Musk and the subject of a bizarre publicity stunt by Trump aimed at making voters forget what happened at Madison Square Garden—is silly.Seth Abramson (Proof)
"As the election approaches, the reporting gets worse — policy issues are pushed aside, the most ludicrous micro-controversies are given front-page treatment, more and more attention is paid to increasingly useless polls and pointless speculation, and they ride into election day on a wave of triviality. ...
The most disheartening thing about all this is how it shows our elite media have learned nothing."

"Nobody tells the elite reporters that they’re terrible at their job, and they think their job is to report the same thing all the other news outlets are reporting."

The News Media Have Learned Nothing
The election is just days away, and reporters are making the worst possible choices.Paul Waldman (The Cross Section)
Kurtz quotes New York Times Pitchbot, which writes,
"Biden calling Trump supporters 'garbage' in a webcam interview is a moral outrage. Here’s why Trump calling Harris supporters 'garbage' at a rally is not."
"In the final week of the presidential campaign, the country’s two most prominent newspapers extended into a second day their credulous coverage of Republicans’ fake outrage over President Biden’s 'garbage' comment.
The NYT and WaPo each made it a front-page story in Thursday’s editions, with above-the-fold, prime-real-estate treatment."
