Ask Curtis, he seems to claim that the media is not to "speak truth to power" but to "speak power despite the need for truth", and the former was an oxymoron sugar-coating the latter. https://americanmind.org/salvo/the-clear-pill-part-2-of-5-a-theory-of-pervasive-error

Politics is porn, but for power instead of male potency... And the only reason people fall for it, is that they are impotent of enacting real change and attaining power. The Tate Brothers merely switched genres, and they can still get laid and make money. https://graymirror.substack.com/p/2b-negative-causes-are-frivolous https://graymirror.substack.com/p/saint-just-and-the-canadian-truckers

The best way to end these type of journalism (or any non-research writing) at its source, is to make fiction popular enough to not disturb the flow of truth. A BS artist should just stick to writing YA novels, not pick-up artistry, not woke activism, and surely not being a politician.

On the politics-addicted end, they should recognize that truth-finding is hard, and that anyone that gives an easy answer is extremely SUS.
