When it comes to one of the most revered practitioners of real journalism, the NYT has always been one of the most revered institutions in the US. Yet it only took them a few years to admit that COVID was a lie, and I suspect that they'll downplay their role in spreading and lending their credibility as real journalists to the lie. That the "Grey Lady" and scion of the "Fourth Estate", was spreading government propaganda for years instead of exposing the government lies is surely one indication that real journalism is passing from the hands of the MSM, and into the hands of those less beholden to the government they're supposed to hold accountable.
That so many on the left will ignore both the complicity of the MSM in this massive lie, and will continue to wear masks and spout the propaganda seems to indicate a desire to continue to exert control as opposed to a desire for Truth and real journalism.

I think the reality is you're speaking not of those who wish to control so much as those who are controlled. Those who defend the leftist media are cult followers of they type they pretend is true of Trump supporters.
I'm not sure it's that simplistic, but this blind veneration of the MSM based on journalistic standards from last century and ignoring the fact that the MSM has become the propaganda arm of the DFL is definitely cult like.
Ahh...sometimes things are indeed that simple. It's always good to begin with the simplest explanation and build from there. Often, not many more bricks are needed to have the entire structure.
I said simplistic, not simple. It is good to follow the Occam's Razor principle. Yet to make something complex, simplistic is often a disservice.
