What's strange to me is the intensity of it all. It's like the entire media industry is willing to die on this hill. They're losing all credibility, inch by inch, day by day, and they won't get that back. They're killing their industry with each passing day and instead of backing off, they're doubling down. Why?
Fear and atrocity draw eyeballs and sell ad revenue. Credibility be damned; history is written by the winners and it seems everyone's attention spans get shorter and shorter.
