Like there are plenty of jobs where the pressure is real and a part of it. Most though the pressure is because people in charge kinda suck.

News sources with integrity would relish the opportunity to face this fucking moron in court and would be proud to defend press freedom.
NEWS --> BBC confirms to me that they did edit a line out of historian @rutgerbregman.com's speech. It called Trump "the most openly corrupt president in US history."
BBC also confirms this was done on the advice of lawyers. So Trump's threats worked.

Trump’s Fury at BBC Gets Unnerving Results with Pro-MAGA Edit Stunner
First, British Broadcasting Corporation execs resigned after Trump complained about a segment. Now the BBC edited out a line from a historian that was critical of Trump. Where does this end?

This is the kind of lie that can't possibly be an accident. O'Reilly and most right-wing mouthpieces are so used to just spouting anything they want without push back that objective facts can't actually penetrate his bullshit even when it's right in front of his stupid sexual assaulter face.
Take a moment to listen
This is the Republican Mantra
All they do is LIE
THIS is also about Epstein
O'Reilly caught in lies and watch his face
Faux news has done this for years
And the gullible believe their lies
LIES, CORRUPTION, AND GREED
Please watch

If you miss this one in the NYT look for a similar take in the Atlantic and 47 pieces from reactionary centrists over at the Free Press.
The Republican president is a pedophile who has doubled my healthcare costs and let scores of violent criminals out of jail. But a Democratic mayor-elect wants to make busses free in a city I don't live in. I have never felt more politically homeless.

It should not need to be said, but South Africa and South America are not the same place.
Trump: "For generations Miami has been a haven for those fleeing communist tyranny in South Africa. I mean, if you take a look at what's going on in parts of South Africa. Look at South Africa, what's going on. Look at South America, what's going on. You know, we have a G20 meeting in South Africa."

A lot of Democrats could use a reminder as well.

"People like Merrick Garland think that they’re eschewing politics. The reality is the opposite: The careful avoidance of anything that appears political is itself a political act. It is a performance, intended to convey to your audience that you are neutral and unbiased. It’s institutional PR."

This is the foundational issue right now. It's the job of certain folks to help convince the people to care and they just give up on it.
"normies do not care about this thing and so it is no use raising a stink" is imho just an excuse for not doing politics, which is the job of making normies care about something
