What disturbed me most is that The Post finally got around to mapping the executive orders to Project 2025 but STILL normalized it as if it's no big deal, using a headline that suggested "no biggie": only 5 ways Project 2025 in play. When actually it was more like almost half of the EOs could be mapped to Project 2025.

I was appalled as well by the Times profiles of Trump supporters. It's as if all the Trump opposition doesn't exist and have no aspirations for the country. Trump only got 49 percent of the popular vote, less than the not Trump votes tallied up. I am exhausted by the Post and Times giving an unchallenged platform to the uninformed as if only they are the "real" America.

At least Margaret Brennan has the spine to ask Vance which EO lowered prices. To which he gave a nonsensical answer.

I just quit the Post, sadly after decades of being a reader, and am now looking for alternative sources. Am considering renewing with the Times but am somewhat hesitant. And television reporting is even worse. Our local paper was gutted first by Zell and then by Alden but we still subscribe because local journalism does matter. The Guardian is now one source but am depressed at the state of US journalism.
