I bet the #media are very happy now, because they get to write a lot of cookie-cutter articles about incompetence, chaos, and hate that hardly even require them to think–they can probably generate them through AI–but that will reward them with millions of clicks.
The alternative would have been writing long, carefully researched articles about thoughtful policies that actually work but which few people would click on. Oh, they're high-fiving now for having avoided competence.
Yep.
The Main Stream Media, and many not so main stream, will make huge profits off the Rump administration. Pundits and commentators alike will not have to think or write complex articles. In fact they may resort to AI writing the copy, because it is all so simple and stupid.
The Rump is very very good for MSNBC, Fox, CBS, the NYT and all others.
@corlin @DavidSalo The thing is, I doubt Dems will watch. We already know what's going to happen and the media could have stopped this. I personally am supporting independent media now. They've lost the Dem side. I don't think they are going to make as much money as they think. Fox might. But that's it.
