On the subject of John Fetterman, the woke media outdid itself and will now pay the price.

"There are few places where today’s cultural rot is more gangrenous than in legacy journalism. This has been such a problem for such a long time it hardly seems worthwhile drawing attention to it. Imagining that half the country doesn’t care and the other half has given up, it is easy to slip into despair about it and just accept it.". . .

. . ."So when NBC News’ Dasha Burns reported on Fetterman’s cognitive impairment as if it was a legitimate interest, she was given the woke takedown that has become all too familiar.

"As Woodhouse writes:

On Twitter, blue-check journalists jumped in to defend Fetterman and throw shade at Burns. Soon, Burns’ tweets were inundated by thousands of haters calling her “disgraceful,” “trash,” and, again and again, “ableist.” The Associated Press published a syndicated story amplifying the criticism and suggesting that Burns’ remarks had given ammunition to the Republicans. The New York Times published an op-ed deploring her remarks. Savannah Guthrie confronted Burns about it on air. On The View, Sunny Hostin implied Burns had acted unethically. BuzzFeed published an article essentially accusing Burns of putting disabled people at risk of violence. Recaps of the criticisms surrounding Burns’ interview appeared in The Washington Post, LA Times and other publications where they served to legitimate the idea of a controversy that the media itself had created.

"The Woke Mobs have proved themselves able to get the objects of their wrath to make public penance or to making the unrepentant into pariahs. They have the burning religious fervor of those who have found True Faith, but a faith cleansed of tolerance, forgiveness, and human decency. Only those caught in its vortex fail to see it belongs to the same species as the modern True Faiths of the great totalitarian monstrosities of the 20th century and their wanna-be successors.". . .
