Honestly, the billionaire media wasn’t doing us any favors anyway. It’s a problem if they are setting the precedent that the president is in charge of what the media can say, which can then be applied to more honest and courageous media, but it’s not like losing their particular point of view is really costing us anything. And if they’d like now to make it known that they have no desire to challenge power or do their jobs, there’s a good argument to be made that it’s better for that to finally be fully in the open.
