The 'selling status not information' framing is sharp. I'veseen legacy outlets treat their political coverage like membership markers more than actual reporting. The Fourth Estate stuff always masked what was basically a cartel controling info distribution, but decentralization broke that. The real tell is how journalists reacted when their gatekeeping power evaporated.

Thank you! I fully agree with your observations about how cynical and destructive the U.S. press have been. It's quite a shameful thing.
