The US media is absolutely fucking useless, JFC. Zero pushback, full of cowards, they will help normalise this shit, before we know it we'll have Republican commentators like "Yes let invade Canada" and US Media being like "Tehee, fair enough" Lmao. At least the Russian Media know they're owned. USA is lacking severely on actual journalism, they seem to think all they're there for is to give a foghorn to bullshit but journalism is meant to educate and provide the actual facts of the matter and pushback against nonsense.

Most Republicans in the USA only follow so-called conservative news media (which is really far-right propaganda networks), so proper journalism is foreign to them already. Fox News is unsurprisingly already on board with invading other countries and turning just about every bad thing into a good thing.

CNN commits the blunder of wanting to provide balanced views between Democrats and Republicans on their panels, but there's no balance between right and wrong; when you try to meet in the middle of right and wrong, you end up with wrong all the time. In that sense CNN is worse than Fox News, because CNN actually had credibility at one point, so they contribute to normalising shit.

MSNBC's Lawrence is just about the only TV host who can consistently do good journalism, such as recognizing that the USA is aligned with Russia now whereas everywhere else it's still put as a question in the room where the USA stands now. Most others on MSNBC get lost in making mountains out of molehills rather than speaking in clear and grounded terms.
