>In the annual public surveys about trust and reputation, journalists and the media have regularly fallen near the very bottom, often just above Congress. But in this year’s Gallup poll, we have managed to fall below Congress. Our profession is now the least trusted of all. Something we are doing is clearly not working.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
EAT SHIT KIKES!

>Let me give an analogy. Voting machines must meet two requirements. They must count the vote accurately, and people must believe they count the vote accurately. The second requirement is distinct from and just as important as the first.
Oh yeah, that sounds loads encouraging

To clarify, I am less than quieted by Billionaires making off-hand comments about how voting machines have to work, in that we're a week from a very significant election. Not saying there's anything to it, but neither dismissing the possibility

I think you're reading too much into it. Here's what I think is happening.
People like Bezos make money by catering to whatever they think the mainstream culture is. In the Obama era it looked like the future of American culture was going to be diverse and mostly left-leaning. Most of the "smart" people assumed Trump was an aberration or a reaction and that his whole thing would just run its course and be gone. So Bezos tailored his newspaper to fit the views of what he assumed was the emerging mainstream audience: douchey left-wing types who care about BLM and trans rights-type stuff. A lot of other corporations did the same. Granted a lot of the woke messaging and DEI stuff was being pushed at the investment level, "stakeholder capitalism" and all that, but I suspect the general consensus at the time was that this was the direction the world was moving anyway.
Basically, it didn't quite turn out like that. Outside of a few white liberal hives people pretty much hate the woke messaging, nobody's eating the plant-based meat, everyone is losing money and nobody trusts the press anymore because they are correctly perceived as partisan shills. Bezos also likely understands that Kamala is a shit candidate that nobody likes, that Biden was basically the same thing, and that even if Kamala somehow wins the election through some combination of luck and trickery she will still be terrible and everyone will still hate her.
What he is trying to do now is get ahead of the curve. He distances himself and his paper from the Kamala train wreck and spends the next four years trying to pivot back to being a center-left paper that at least makes a pretense of reporting the news objectively. He will probably take a lot of shit from the crazy left in the short term, but in the long term he hopes to regain some credibility and preserve his newspaper. The next decade or so is likely to be turbulent either way, so anyone with a lot to lose is going to be cautious about overtly picking sides. Other newspapers are doing the same; USA Today also declined to endorse Kamala. Mark Zuckerberg has also made some similar moves recently, backpedaling on some of the heavy censorship stuff and trying to point the finger towards the Biden administration.

Or they get cucked by the state and/or banking cartels.

The only reason public opinion has turned against "woke messaging", is because people realized it's not organic. And it took so, so long to get there.
Everyone can point the finger at black rock right now. But as soon as their involvement becomes less obvious, we'll be back at square one. Most people don't really care about woke messaging, they just don't like black mailing.
>nobody trusts the press anymore because they are correctly perceived as partisan shills
Which is why they moved to e-celebs ages ago.

The left overwhelmingly opposes Israel. Despite their efforts at every level, it doesn't seem like they're going to change their minds.
I honestly think that's the only reason why (((they))) are seriously considering the "right-wing" this time.
Most of the people who hate wokeness, are individualists from the Jordan Peterstein strand. This disorganized movement to bring back masculinity and meritocracy to the western world. I mean, the idea is alright of course. But they've been co-opted.
These people operate in a hyper individualist mindset. They got no idea whatsoever about who are responsible for the wokeness they hate so much. They're oblivious to the mechanisms which lead to wokeness. And their dissatisfaction could prove a reliable ally of ZOG. In fact, they're already making use of them in pro-israel fraternities.
I know peterstein is not the only one. But he's been cooking this new faction as a means to counter the "far-right"(and left) for years now. It seems like it might finally bear some fruit.

While that's a very pragmatic, occam's razor sort of analysis, the conclusion is somewhat idyllic and best case. A more stressful (but better positioned in the long term) position operates from a position of "Never dismiss as stupidity that which hasn't been disproven as malice." Adeline's retort
