Reporting used to be a blue collar job you did with a high school degree for a local paper. Over the 20th century, it was transformed into "journalism," an elite-profession requiring a degree from a j-school. Journalists have woke sensibilities and a lot of anger at the world from student loan debt and low pay. They believe reality should be what they say it is, not what it is. Consequently, trust in the press has declined steadily from its high water mark in the 1970s. The grift still has a lot of momentum because Americans believe they are smart and informed by keeping up on the news.
It's starting to leak out that Zelensky is using a green screen. I said he's been in Poland since that American MV-22 flight to/from Lviv before the war. The press building him into a hero is hilarious. He's a typical Western-style puppet and grifter with typical Western elite vices. He ain't Winston Churchill.
