They're not supposed to pick sides, are they? The media's sacred duty is impartiality and all that noble nonsense. But let's not kid ourselves; that ship sailed, sank, and got turned into reef long ago.
They take sides and they don't hide it.
Exhibit A: this Bloomberg reporter, Thomas Escritt, now enjoying his fifteen minutes of viral infamy for all the wrong reasons. Caught on camera flipping off Secretary of State Marco Rubio during a press conference with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban in Budapest on February 16.

Classy move in the front row, no less.
It's not exactly breaking news that the establishment press corps is a dumpster fire, but moments like this just add another charming footnote to their obituary. They still haven't figured out what hit them with Donald Trump's rise or the similar populist waves rolling across Europe. They keep wagering that this whole thing is a passing fad, like low-rise jeans or whatever else they missed the memo on.
As an aside, if you're going to throw someone the bird, at least commit to it with some dignity instead of spaz-flailing like a malfunctioning robot. The guy has since locked his X account, which is the modern equivalent of hiding under the desk.

Will he get fired? Now that would be the real shocker, wouldn't it? Color me skeptical. The media hates us. We don't care.
