Always weird (and obnoxious) for media figures to dismiss media criticism by claiming it’s not a problem because journalism is worthless, words are meaningless, and which information people do and don’t see or hear, how they get the info, and how it’s framed don’t matter at all. https://t.co/STmQU6keaX— Nicholas Grossman (@NGrossman81) April 11, 2024

Few things are more annoying than the two step between “Democracy dies in darkness!” and “nothing political reporters write has any influence on anything whatsoever.” If you are an elite reporter and believe the latter, I would suggest resigning so that one of the many talented journalists who actually give a shit can do the job instead.
