Oh no they don't. If you work in media, you either bow to leftist orthodoxy, or you get fired. See Bari Weiss, etc.

And on the right, Fox let go some of longtime staffers who were not sympathetic to the networks coverage of the 2020 elections.

ESPN fired Jemele Hill for calling Trump a white supremacist.

If you want to claim that the NY Times is left-leaning than I would agree. It's a newspaper in one of the most liberal cities in the country. Its ethos are probably more reflective of that than any elite orthodoxy.

Fox is garbage. What's your point?

Every media organization sacrificed their credibility wholesale over the past five years.

The federal government accomplished the same for themselves over 2020.

Americans now live in a world where the institutions underpinning public life have lost all of their credibility with the public itself, outside of Blue enclaves.

We don't know where this goes. We really don't. Historically, nowhere good.
