Nothing underscores the total irrelevance of legacy media more than these two front pages, both willfully ignoring the biggest political scandal in American history: a sitting president, backed by corrupt intelligence officials, sabotaging the duly elected incoming president.
We shouldn’t waste time moaning about their failure. We should celebrate it. There’s no point in propping them up or giving them life support by pretending they still matter.
I get that people of a certain generation, myself included, still have that reflexive reaction: oh wow, it’s in the paper. But that’s just a ghost of an old world clinging to us, a relic of a time when these institutions had meaning.
Old media is dead and that is a beautiful thing.
