In today's Los Angeles Times, Nicholas Goldberg wonders "What happened to criminal justice reform?" Allow me to enlighten you: what happened was that your colleagues in the media realized it was hurting Democrats at the ballot box.
Remember "believe all women?" Dropped when women started accusing prominent Democrats of sexual improprieties. Haven't heard much about BLM recently, come to think of it. I give the recent "trans rights" push a few more months before it is similarly forgotten once it becomes clear to the media that it's hurting Democrat electoral prospects.
"[media outlets such as the New York Times]no longer see their function as journalistic but instead as partisan and propagandistic: they are absolutely willing and even eager to lie if it helps the Democratic Party stay in power." said Glenn Greenwald. Indeed.
