I mean obviously the Biden admin, the Trump admin, and the press are all colossal liars and not to be trusted but I can't see how they reconcile this specific thing

    I think some liberals have genuinely shifted from "we must defend the press" in 2016 to over time "fuck the press" in 2018 to "volcano the press" in 2021. Like, the NYT/WaPo posted so many op-eds from Republicans (the infamous Tom Cotton one where he wanted the streets to drown with protestor blood) and other miscreants that liberals realized they shouldn't be paying for a newspaper that utterly despises them.
