Mainstream media characters repeating “we are the news now” around the Intellectual Kids Table on XformerlyTwitter is the ultimate conclusion necessitated by the public agreeing that they were actually the “independent media” on the basis of their self-identification as independent.

They did such a good job of “waking up the normies” that they are now just the mainstream media again, catering to those “newly awakened” normies, just like they always were.

Amazing.
