Trying to figure out why Big Journalism is so intent upon destroying Biden and helping Trump win. Certainly their billionaire owners salivate over turning the US into a Russia style fascist oligarchy, but also these clowns just get off on being powerful and the center of attention. It feeds their massive egos to take down a president and kill democracy. Just imagine; the army in the streets, show trials, deportation camps. Who could resist being ringmasters for the greatest show on earth?

They never think about "what comes after". (They ought to read Cherryh's "The Paladin", where it's a lesson in thinking before acting.
@mastodonmigration Some journalists looked at Alex Garland's Civil War (2024, A24) and thought, "See, this is what journalism needs so people understand we're the REAL heroes! How can we help make this happen?"
@mastodonmigration I wonder the same. Maybe they are vying to be the "one true state media" - as I'm not sure what sort of future they think they have in a trump-run world.
Don't think they are thinking that far ahead. If they were they might be worried about what autocratic do to journalists once they achieve power. But right now guessing they are all on a king maker sugar high.
