IMO the depressing thing is not that the mainstream media with its corporate owners hedges but that the little ones do too. Like Mother Jones writing a headline called "How RFK Jr. Falsely Denied His Connection to a Deadly Measles Outbreak in Samoa" (https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2024/07/how-rfk-jr-falsely-denied-his-connection-to-a-deadly-measles-outbreak-in-samoa/) instead of "RFK Jr Helped Kill Kids, Then Lied About It".
like if the liberal media with much less corporate funding is doing it, what hope does the mainstream media have?
