Summary

MSNBC, CNN, and major newspapers like The Washington Post and Los Angeles Times are softening their once critical stances, citing fear of retribution, business pressures, and audience polarization.

This shift has drawn backlash, with critics warning that neutrality risks undermining journalistic integrity in the face of Trump’s autocratic tendencies.

Meanwhile, Fox News is thriving, reaching record ratings.

As the media faces dwindling resources and public trust, experts argue it must choose between challenging authoritarianism or losing credibility entirely.
