Mainstream media can't report even what is right in front of their eyes.

I have frequently pointed out that one of the elements of journalistic decline has been the increasing reliance on press release journalism - someone releases a study or some findings and the mainstream media rewrite the heading, find a little bit of filler and then run with the press release as if it were original reporting.

In this case, there isn't even a press release.  Someone had what they thought was an insight and everyone ran with it, omitting the rather critical step of fact checking what they were pushing as a reporting of facts.

From Media Say Biden’s Female-Led Comms Team Is A First. It’s What Trump Has Now by Mollie Hemingway.  

Former Vice President Joe Biden will make history by having a female-led communications team in the White House, the Washington Post reported on Sunday. The only problem with the claim is that President Trump’s communications team is led across the board by women right now.

“Jennifer Psaki, a veteran Democratic spokeswoman, will be Biden’s White House press secretary, one of seven women who will fill the upper ranks of his administration’s communications staff. It is the first time all of the top aides tasked with speaking on behalf of an administration and shaping its message will be female,” the Post’s Annie Linskey and Jeff Stein falsely claimed.

NPR’s Benjamin Swasey and Franco Ordoñez also regurgitated the spin from the Biden team, writing that it would be “the first time in history” such roles were filled by women.

White House Deputy Press Secretary Sarah Matthews, a woman, noted that the Trump administration’s communications team is entirely female-led right now.

That's simply disgracefully unprofessional.   All they had to do was check and they couldn't even be bothered to do that in their eagerness to do some fake branding.  Sycophantic lapdogs are not a popular icon.  

It goes to a deeper issue.  I would imagine in five or ten years, Trump's administration will be looked on much more positively by both right, middle, and even some of the left, than occurs now.

Drop below the headlines and many of his policies are actually pretty solidly moderate.  Not only philosophically moderate but he has delivered on them, ratcheting up successes which the press will never acknowledge but which the public will miss.
