The press (in all media forms) contains within its very nature the seeds of tyranny and treason, which must constantly be guarded against. Ben Franklin, a newspaper owner himself, had this to say on the subject.
Franklin's short but rich essay, "An Account of the Supremest Court of Judicature in Pennsylvania, viz., The Court of the Press," written a year before his death in 1790, lays out a comprehensive analysis of the press: its effects on politics and the democratic mind, its mode of rule, and the origins of its power. His study is, in a sense, an examination of the effectual truth of the principle underlying freedom of the press. His reflections are urgently needed today.
The press, Franklin argues, unlike any other republican institution, has a power that does not fall under any constitutional check. It is motivated to act viciously by its very principle (created to attack dogma, false knowledge, and political corruption), though in practice it is neither limited nor moderated by either its own idealism or by any institution. While the press claims to rule like a court — passing all things before its judgment — it may rule tyrannically because it is liberated from considerations of justice or precedent. Thus unchecked, the press can subvert rational habits of mind among citizens and reverence for the law while flattering public resentments and antagonizing citizens' pride. Franklin was consciously witnessing the birth of a new class, a kind of press corps, created by this new principle, and his assessment of the human content of this class is contrasted with the powers it wields. For Franklin, a free press must be checked by a vigilant and jealous public, which he hopes to energize against abuses of liberty. (Emphasis added)
I don't think they will ever recover the reputation they once had....I think independent news is the future and it's only going to get stronger while MSM dies.
They must be treated as enemies of the people these so-called media personalities & "Journalists" from FOX, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, CBS, NPR, PBS, Washington Post, New York Times, etc.
Imprisoned for a minimum of 10 years, and upon release they must be blacklisted from any form of public speaking, media event, streaming service, etc. Blacklisted from any government assistance or job at any level of government. Banned from international travel. Placed on the no-fly list. And be subject to a lifetime of parole.
Also a lifetime ban from using electronic devices for communication such as smart phones, tablet computers, ereaders, laptops, computers, etc.
I can't go into all the ways we were pissed off at the fake news over the years, but we finally cancelled the newspaper and returned the cable box, decades ago. They definitely insult us, deliberately.
Fake News owners, editors, reporters & autocuties would do well to look up "Misprision" (of treason, not a typo). Owners should be charged with actual treason, Lord Haw Haw-style.
By "scrutinized", I hope he means tried for treason.
Or otherwise, hung by the neck till ded.
'Fried' works!

Good. It will take generations to have actual trustworthy media, if ever again.

The media has never in history been trustworthy.

Scrutinized? How's about THOROUGHLY AND COMPLETELY HELD ACCOUNTABLE, sir?
The gloves are coming off.
Now that's an acronym I can get behind!

Yes, there must be a reckoning.

Additionally all assets they own or can be tied back to them (such as "gifts" to friends/relatives) are seized.
Doesn't every major player in the Fake News have a spouse in the CIA?
Using the time stamp u/#q1853 I don’t have Twitter/X so I can’t click the link but it has something to do with NBC.
South Carolina primary is February 24, 2024. That's the five months he is referring too I think.
He knows people don’t like the MSM. Comments likes these get him more support
