However, the things that drive me to want to cancel directly are when MSM 3) portrays transgressions as acceptable (sane-washing) 4) hosts OpEds from idiots with a clear aversion to facts (eg T Cotton and Vance’s NYT Op-eds}. These are enraging.

Eg Vance accused Haitians of eating neighbors’ pets? FFS. Same for Trump and all of his lying sycophants How can an outlet trust anything else coming from the mouth of such abject liars? Stop granting the institution credibility when the people with the institutional power are constantly lying!
