Friends,
If the 2022
midterm elections proved anything, it’s that mainstream media outlets in our state will ignore stories that portray Democrats negatively. They
refuse to do their jobs: hold the powerful accountable.
But the
mainstream media’s behavior during the 2022 midterm elections did not exactly come as a surprise to anyone paying attention.
Ask
yourself, with Jay Inslee in the governor’s office for the last 10 years, can you identify any in-depth investigation into his biggest failures?
It’s beyond just laziness or lack of resources.
For the entirety of Inslee’s reign of terror as governor, the state’s media outlets have avoided conducting investigations into any his
errors and scandals. And that’s certainly not due to want of corruption to investigate.
Cover-ups. Smokescreens. Outright lies. All accepted without question by a compliant press corps forced to sign up for
Inslee’s virtual campaign press conferences.
Whatever you choose to call the mainstream media’s approach to an
out-of-control administration – the reality is that it’s harming our state by distorting the results of our elections.
Given that reality, here’s a
serious question for readers like you the
mainstream media won’t ask.
In the coming year, which of the Inslee administration’s biggest scandals would you like to see
investigated? Mainstream media
reporters have failed to investigate any of these scandals because it would force them to admit that they have not been doing their job during
Inslee’s reign. As a sad point of comparison, the Seattle Times has now spent more time breathlessly providing daily coverage of the Pierce
County Sheriff’s trial over a two-year-old incident than on any of the Inslee’s Administrations scandals and corruption over the last
decade.
We hope you take just a moment to
participate in our poll and let us know which
one of Inslee’s scandals you most want to see investigated next year.
Thank you,
The Shift WA team
