I'm a first-time reader. Appreciate the thorough content to support your insights. Looking forward to more. As for Biden and Democrats, I think the mainstream press was quietly complicit until the potential of a presidential election loss began to emerge.
Thank you for your article! Makes me think of all the derogatory news media /late night talk shows talking about his opponents . Robert F Kennedy Jr being whacko , president Trump a Russian spy/ bad for democracy. I believe the ones that are bad for democracy is the mainstream media as well as most of Hollywood. Sorry to say the Americans have to try to navigate thru all of that while here in Canada we have the glorious CBC and our mainstream media to contend with.
Why is it that anyone that doesn't buy their BS is an extreme right A-hole. I feel I'm pretty liberal in much of my thinking but would be leaning conservatively on the fiscal end. I think the various writers of substack have proven the science is NOT out about climate change, the weather has been weird but we better ALL put our heads together to make sure we get it right on how to handle it .The media and our politicians seem to be pretty far left almost to the radical end, what ever has happened to being centre left or centre right. Doesn't the media see what a disservice they are doing ?
Please keep up what journalism should be , report the facts. One of our hopefully probable leader, Pierre Pollievre slogans is ' Common Sense' please let's all use some!
As a former member of it, I have been infuriated by the media’s obvious bias for a long time. Never underestimate the level of groupthink among high-level practitioners. The WSJ stood alone in finally calling attention to Biden’s condition, which finally opened up a crack that other outlets could trickle through while reassuring themselves, “Well, it’s the Journal,” whose right-wing editorial pages make everything else in the paper mildly suspect. Once the NYT acknowledged the truth, the flood surged through.
We won’t, of course, ever see a nostra culpa. Has anyone yet returned a Pulitzer for Russiagate? Groupthink entails the perception that everything we write is the absolute truth, and apologies for the contrary come hard—especially group apologies. One has trouble even envisioning what an industrial-size “skinback” would look like: Will someone like Ezra Klein or David Frum fall on his sword and thus bestow absolution on the entire U.S. media for being lying skanks? Are you holding your breath?
This post is a public service. Pulling together all the sordid “receipts” of media perfidy in one place at least bookmarks a lousy chapter in journalism history when someone finally writes it.
They think we are complete idiots. There is no other explanation. Those of us who are no brainwashed saw the signs for months, if not years, and we were told we were either seeing things or victims of “propaganda”. If the debate had not happened, they would still be perpetrating this fraud right now.

Thank you!
Thank you for posting this on Twitter/X. Sharing your Substack with my non-Twitter friends and family. Brilliant.
Thank you! You show their cravenness so well. Will we ever get a fair press?
Enjoyed your interview on Trish Wood. Hope results came back clear. 💛

You always bring the receipts on Twitter, thank you for all the hard work you do at actually informing people.
