Talking Points Memo editor Josh Marshall gets what most Big Journalism organizations refuse to consider, much less acknowledge:

Our "news" orgs have barely begun to spot brush fires, much less the reality: Everything is burning.

The time cover? https://edition.cnn.com/2025/02/07/media/time-magazine-elon-musk-cover-trump/index.html

And the Guardian calls it a bromance which reminds of the famous kissing Putin image.

But even Musk must have strategists behind him. The rapid, pre-planned destruction of democracy cannot be his doing alone, he is not good enough for such a complex work, and too often on drugs.
