>I don't think they're as bad as Comical Ali... for a start, he was totally partisan in favor of the leader whereas today's MSM is totally partisan against theirs, which is quite reassuring for those worried about authoritarianism.

Don't you think this MSM thing is getting a bit thin. the alt right media (esp your Murdoch fox) get pretty big ratings (they keep telling me this) so they aren't exactly hiding under a rock.
its quite convenient to spout the fake news line more or less all the time now about anything that appears in any other news channel.

I note on Fox since Trumps blunder he has disappeared from their headlines and they are now obsessing about Biden. Yes thats the most important thing during a pandemic when tens of thousands of Americans are dying.

In Trumps defense on this (for balance) I read that Churchill often came up with crazy ideas during the war and part of his staffs job was to keep him on a the right track (benefitting from no 24 hour news reporting) . Trump has managed to surround himself with incompetent yes men and thats completely his fault.
