"There’s a certain tone the American media adopts when it has decided that the public is asking too much of it: the demeanor of a patient parent explaining that ice cream is not dinner, even though everybody wants it to be.

Last week, The Washington Post published a headline that captured this perfectly with a straight face: 'Why you may not want lower prices as much as you think you do.'”

~ Julie Roginsky

"On Tuesday, it followed this up with, 'Actually, today’s food prices are a bargain.' ...

These aren’t stories about food. They are stories about surrender to a president who has declared that affordability 'doesn’t mean anything to anybody' and a 'con job.'”

"Something fundamental has shifted. The media, once the antagonist of those who rule, increasingly sounds like the parenthetical aside in a White House briefing. The institutions that spent years insisting they were the last line of defense against creeping authoritarianism now appear suspiciously eager to adjust to it."
