@PhilipTheBucket I did check CNN lately and I found their articles to be quite reliable (not very, but quite) - which is better than I expected (even though I checked them on Flipboard, via the Fedi). I wonder how their quality will drop in the following years.
I think pretty much any media which depends for its existence on FCC licenses, board of directors, profit margins and shareholders, and so on, is likely to fall into line behind Trump like good little soldiers within somewhere from 3-12 months from now. A lot of the journalists are probably pretty honorable, so they'll leave, but that will not impede the process one iota.
@PhilipTheBucket right, I see. It's basically the same cycle of them following whoever pays the most. Kinda sucks tbh...
