It took more than five years, but the corporate media finally have the tools and strategy to successfully defeat President Donald Trump.
The article is illuminating not just because reporters ostensibly covering the presidential race are writing like it's occurring in an fishbowl they and their colleagues don't largely control, but because the article stands out as one of the very media acknowledgements of this disappearing act in any corporate media outside of Fox News.
Shielding a candidate from the majority of media criticism can only do so much, and in February as a seemingly assured re-election loomed, corporate media still lacked lines of attack that worked on President Trump.
The corporate media spent March, April, May, and June demonizing Republicans and lauding Democrats for their handlings of a disease that killed three times as many people in Gov. Andrew Cuomo's New York as the recently targeted states of Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas, and Utah combined.
This isn't surprising: When corporate media were working to destroy South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem's hands-off approach to the virus, the startling number of cases at a pork-processing plant The New York Times dubbed the "Country's Biggest Coronavirus Hotspot" were touted by the paper and the dozens of brave reporters who rushed to parrot it.
The same corporate media that hand-selects its virus statistics to batter and frighten Republican politicians routinely plays the fool when discussing the once-historic-and-now-plummeting economy of the United States.
A corporate media that have struggled for years to achieve their openly stated goal of defeating the president finally have a working plan.
