Much of legacy media is actively complicit at this point. They understand exactly what is happening, and, with few exceptions, have signaled their willingness to accommodate an antidemocratic regime.
I'm tired of the unwarranted assumption that media is simply unwittingly bound by 'framing' and reading books will open their eyes.
Just as GOP officials and GOP voters have made their choice to reject democracy, so too have large swaths of the media. They'll acclimate, compromise, and rationalize through a 2nd Trump term. A handful, at most, will resign.
Democracy doesn't die in darkness...it dies with the cynical help of a craven elite media class.
