Independent media has increasingly targeted traditional journalism for perceived biases, especially regarding political reporting. With Donald Trump back in office, figures like Tim Pool have gained significance in mainstream media spaces, particularly during White House briefings. Pool's questioning of press credibility focuses on false narratives pushed by established media. Critics argue such inquiries do little to advance public discourse or accountability, as they merely highlight grievances rather than constructive dialogue, showcasing a shift towards personalized, confrontational media interactions amidst ongoing partisan divides.
The tragedy of Pool's prompt lies in its utter uselessness. No one is served by the press secretary being asked to reflect upon how terrible the press is.
For years, independent media has assailed the traditional press for a variety of alleged sins, including a deference to experts and gentle handling of Democrats.
