NY Post Versus Legacy Media?

The NY Post really said the quiet part out loud. Truth wins as ‘citizen journalists’ rise — and legacy media fades

If you don’t follow the press, you are uninformed ...; if you do follow the press, you are misinformed.

So the NY Post admits that legacy media has been lying to everyone. We all know this, but you don't usually read it in the legacy media.

Nowadays you can actually be, you know, informed if you carefully follow the alternative press and social media.

It’s a major reason why the organized left, the Democrats and the traditional media — but I repeat myself — have less traction today than they used to.

OK, so this is an opinion piece but it does occur in the legacy media.

Time for a history lesson. The original blogosphere, followed by the rise of corporate social media (F*c*book and Twitter - pre-Elon), and how stories that questioned the narrative of the Left got censored.

Twitter, before Elon Musk bought it, didn’t just ban The Post’s reporting on Hunter Biden’s incriminating laptop — it prevented sharing the story via direct message.

Ditto any skepticism about COVID policies or the climate “emergency.”

You will not say or write anything the Left doesn't approve of, because if you do, you might think thoughts that the Left doesn't like.

We’ve learned that the legacy media routinely peddle lies: A dramatic story about a racist incident, a la Jussie Smollett, once provoked instant outrage.

Now, many start out assuming the incident is a hoax — and they’re often right.

Gallup recently discovered that 69% of Americans distrust the media; only 31% generally believe their reporting.
