    It's 1980. A literal actor is now the president. He's good on camera. The show that is the news gets good ratings.

    It's 1995. John McCain is playing nice with journalists, proving that some Republicans are capable of seeming normal and relatable (to journalists.)

    It's 2003. George "I can have a beer with him" invades Iraq. Millions will die.

    It's 2024. A narcissistic racist is reelected. Journalists bend themselves into pretzels trying to make it seem okay.
