Another pretty good article, certainly higher quality than you'd consider given the source[0]. What switch flipped to make all these come out right now?

The reason it's coming out now is because Trump is gone.

During the election, most of the media decided to ignore anything they were afraid would help Trump or hurt Biden.

Whether an activist media is good or bad is left as an exercise for the reader.

Comments like this bring up so many questions in my mind -- do you prefer conservative news media? If so, are you struggling to find news media to consume?

Are you aware of the top cable news network, the newer smaller ones, the media holding companies that dominate local news affiliates and dictate conservative talking points through their hosts, the massively popular hard-right conservative influencers, Facebook, etc?

All one has to do is look at the top reaching posts on facebook each week - it's mostly right-wing pundits like Ben Shapiro or Dan Bongino. Occasionally Bernie Sanders or AOC breaks into the list, but usually overwhelmingly right-wing pundits.
