Part 10/12:
The discourse extends into broader criticisms of the media ecosystem—accusations that the press, by and large, failed to serve as an independent watchdog. Instead, journalists allegedly succumbed to pressures from political factions, corporate interests, and elite circles, effectively becoming complicit in the perpetuation of narratives that shield political figures from scrutiny.
This alleged collusion impacts public trust and undermines democratic accountability. It is suggested that the media’s tendency to propagate sanitized versions of politicians’ health and competence has contributed to a distorted perception of political realities, particularly in relation to Biden’s administration.
