I read that thread hoping that one of the blue checks would say something reasonable - one argued that the press favored Hillary and did everything in their power to ensure she won ... over Bernie That they did everything they could to help Hillary beat Trump is just assumed

Ezra's actual statement here has a few missing items: [It was their job to get a Hillary win] [The only reason to be honest is to retain credibility when you need it] Reporting at all on the emails pushed some voters away from her Therefore shouldn't have reported on the emails

It really is a revealing complaint. The tacit assumption here is that their preferred candidate (Hillary in this case) is entitled to control of the media-landscape, the news-cycle. Anything that derails that control ('the emails', also Russia's 'meddling') is inherently invalid.

The Lesson Learned being formed among Smart People is that they need to hard-wire better, more reliable Controls into the media landscape for next time, to ensure media can't be (in their POV) 'hijacked' for messaging they dislike/don't approve of. i.e., more censorship.

Yep - the underlying assumption is that of course the media is there to push an agenda and the discussion is about how to do it most effectively It's like they read Moldbug and are just trying to do their jobs to the best of their ability
