When news media think saying they have an impact will make them look good, they will sing in harmony for months on end about what an incredible role they play keeping democracies going.

Huff Post & WaPo have been beating the drums as well with multiple articles daily since the debate.

Just a reminder that Michelle Wolf nailed it at the White House Correspondents Dinner. NYT, I’m looking in your direction especially.

And a lot of people claim they pay no attention to advertising too
