My trust in the media has been waning for decades. Their biases have always been made manifest in their reporting.
I was listening to coverage of Michigan's Senatorial contest on ABC News on the radio this morning. The focus on their reporting was on how the Democrat candidate, al Sayed, has to motivate enough voters to win to make it easier for the Democrats to take control of the US Senate. Democrat control of the Senate was framed as being a desirable outcome.
Putting someone who is at the least philosophically "kissing cousins" with communism is not a desirable outcome. We need fewer progressives/socialists/communists in the US Senate, not more.
At the very least, coverage of the race should be neutral with no implied preference in either direction.
Dante's Devil in Hell will thaw long before the mainstream media will check their biases at the door.

I was really hoping that the Democrats would respond to Trump by getting a little closer to the basics of Constitutional government and draw on a broad coalition of people who are united by a desire to keep the executive answerable to the law and Congress. It would have been a good way to win elections, if nothing else. In far too many cases, that isn't happening. All they know is the old game of centralizing the economy and buying people with each other's money.
Honestly....it's because the Democrat leadership abandoned the Constitution a long time ago. Are there elected Democrats that prioritize the Constitution over their legislative desires? Sure. The closer we get to the local county/township government, the more Democrat politicians are likely to be within the Constitutional range of normal.
At the federal level? It's all power in support of the agenda of the elected Democrat leadership and the Constitution is an old bit of paper that they genuflect towards once in a while. Not a document to define and constrain their legislative ambitions.
The rise of the DSA within the Democrat Party is just a milestone on a path the DNC leadership supports in the first place.
