Well, well, well, it appears as if the tables have turned.
Over the last 6 years, the media has been dominated by far-left-wing outlets that have acted as front-line soldiers against President Trump, conservatives, and America First policies.

Whereas many Americans had the proverbial wool pulled over their eyes over the last several years, the catastrophic performance of the Biden administration has brought most to a sobering and stark reality. …

“Moving forward, we will have a single news brand in HuffPost, which is profitable, with a loyal direct front page audience,” Peretti said in the note to employees.
Peretti called the decision “deeply painful” and cited a tech recession, a tough economy and a decelerating advertising market as factors.
