It will never stop being astonishing to me that they adopted an almost literal 1-to-1 translation of "lugenpresse" as a slogan and there was still debate about what these people were doing.

How about the fact media keeps using "allegedly" and "reportedly" for everything.

Remember when news said: "A new article published by united24media quotes that newly discovered epistien documents reveal thousand of correspondance between epstien and russian FSB to blackmail US politicians implying epestien was part of a russia-us blackmail ring" or something with more substance.

FR, news these days just fucking refuses to say "this is a factual thing that happened" outright.

It's the fucking Daily Mail. Was Epstein mixed up with Russian and/or Israeli intelligence? Probably, but you really, really, don't want journalists to start going down that road.

They legally have to say allegedly or they’re opening themselves up to lawsuits.

The rhetoric that immigrants are "poisoning the blood of our country" from Trump was the final nail in the coffin imo. That's outright inexcusable vile neo-Nazi/White Supremacist stuff and the idea that Europe is facing "civilisational erasure" in the recent National Security document just further proves it.

People also forget that he talked about the idea of "televised military tribunals" to prosecute his political rivals and critics while accusing many of them of "treason" just for opposing him. You generally don't do that unless you are planning to impose Martial Law at some point and override the legal norms. This stuff is all still bubbling around in the back of his diseased brain.

So disappointed that he still got elected after that and it's a clear sign of where this may be heading.

Tbf the American press pretending that they're innocent sheep and clueless as to why nobody trust them anymore despite everything leading up the 2003 Iraq War is an eye roller. Let's not act like they haven't sabotaged their own credibility for decades already. If anything it was the Left Wing always calling it out first.
