Why Media Integrity Matters Now More Than Ever
As legacy media capitulates to fascism, we must redouble our efforts to protect our democracy and hold the powerful accountable
In a climate where legacy media, like the LA Times and Washington Post, sidestep endorsing a clear choice between Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, their neutrality speaks volumes—and not in a way that serves democracy. Their refusal to take a stance, despite Trump’s outright embrace of fascism, leaves many readers feeling abandoned. Thousands of subscribers are canceling their memberships in response. But it cannot stop here. This moment calls us to seek sources that prioritize justice and fundamental human rights. Let’s Address This.
Where Legacy Media is Failing
As the old saying goes, “The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who, in times of great moral crisis, maintain their neutrality.” Mainstream media outlets often claim to be the gatekeepers of truth, yet their unwillingness to denounce clear threats to democracy shows an unfortunate capitulation to both-sides-ism. And it isn’t just the LA Times or Washington Post. CNN famously refused to fact check Donald Trump during his debate against President Biden. CBS also refused to fact check the VP debate. This capitulation reveals the painful truth: traditional media is prioritizing neutrality over justice—even when such neutrality emboldens those who threaten our nation’s most vulnerable. We cannot sit idle, and we do not have to.
