I hate the NPC Wojack meme with an intense passion. It's such a strawman trap. All it does is reduce the opposition to unthinking robots so they can attacked on their credibility rather than the merits of their actual arguments.
In this case, the media isn't saying Dick Cheney is a good guy now because he endorsed Harris. They're saying it's a surprising stance to take for the former VP of a Republican administration. It would be like having Al Gore come out and endorse Trump for President.
OP is 100% full of shit and more like an NPC than any of these media outlets.
If you think any media organization gets legitimate traction with level-headed, real reporting, congratulations! Your chip has been properly configured! You can now live life unburdened by critical thought.
They're all sock puppets for billionaires to sway public opinion.
No! Impossible!
Are you suggesting the Jeff Bezos WaPo, the GE Presents NBC, and the Murdoch Press are mouthpieces for billionaires? I won't believe it. I can't believe it. America is the freest, fairest, most educated and rational and ethical country on Earth. How could our Liberal Media be anything except perfectly objective and transparent in all things?
