After many, many years of groveling to the right wing, the liberal media is now under attack by the propagandists and authoritarians on the right and there is no one to defend them.
After years of not calling them on their lies and dangerous policies, the liberal media now find themselves under attack by the same folks they protected for such a long time.
The liberal media now see that the problem with this country is not some external enemy, it is the liberal media themselves.
Because they chose to not tell the truth about the right wing. They chose to make excuses for them, all in the name of balance. They could not withstand the name-calling from the right wingers. They chose to give them equal time when they knew they were wrong with their facts and wrong for this country.
Now, where do we go when we no longer have a free press?
