Using different names to properly show a difference between the complicit media -- that no longer does journalism -- and the media willing to do deep dives and tell the truth, makes sense. That isn’t what’s really happening if you’re talking about truth in reporting or journalism. Legacy Media no longer does journalism or present the facts. They simply push their agenda, riding on the back of the reputations and news brand-names, who actually did the work in the distant past.

In fewer than 100 days, the second Trump administration stripped the pretenders of that power – almost entirely. Trump officials no longer tolerate ridiculous questions and start many answers with, “that’s a ridiculous question,” or something similar. This admin also realized the White House Press Corps doesn’t control the Press Room – IT does. No, you can’t simply feel like NOT using the official name for “The Gulf of America,” and keep your place on Air Force One, in the Oval Office or your preferred seat in that vaunted briefing room.

You can’t call a twice adjudicated member of a violent gang or terrorist organization a “Maryland Father,” or “Maryland Man,” without being called out. You can no longer hide the fact his wife twice alleged he beat her -- to make your story seem correct when you MUST know it was not.
