    For some reason performative neutrality is the line that ‘journalists’ are not allowed to cross, even against fascism. Morans’ statements are weak-sauce compared to the Michelin star grill marks the typewriter hammers of Hunter S. Thompson indelibly branded on Nixon’s legacy.

    There is no ‘left’ and ‘right’ mainstream media, just a slippery slope of appeasement to tyranny from NPR down to OAN, and then there is the sidelined and suppressed resistance trying to break through. It has always been this way, and is the reason things have deteriorated to our current state.
