Editor,

There is something even more sinister afoot, evident for years now, than the coup effected against President Biden in forcing him to abandon his campaign: The abdication of journalistic integrity by the mainstream media.

Thanks for your letter, Mr. Garrett. Let’s not forget the “free” press is attempting to lose their “free” in another way – the mainstream media are attempting to pass legislation to get other corporations to give them money (highy likely to be unconstitutional). Regardless, the mainstream media has tossed much of their journalistic integrity, especially, as you’ve noted, when it comes to politics and their being complicit in providing cover for Dem candidates, including failed border czar, Hidin’ Harris, and stolen valor A-Walz.

Trump spent his entire time in office, and in the years after, publicly denouncing the media, calls them fake, calls them liars. He has vowed to weaponize government and seek retribution against the news media should he get back into office. He has consistently referred to journalists as the “enemy of the people.” Steve Bannon and Kash Patel have promised to pursue Trump's policy of revenge against journalists should he get back into office. It has been a keystone in TFG's strategy, as it is with all authoritarian figures, to discredit the press.
