Your opening quotation of Jimmy Dore sums up one strong element of 2024's upside-down backwardness: renegade "comedians" have become expositors of truth while "news reporting" reliability is reduced to a sheer joke.

Great article. The more they lie, shuffle their feet, cough, refuse to make eye contact and prevaricate, the less relevant they become in the lives of those they hope to deceive.

Thanks. Yes, less relevant ... and more dangerous.

They are never going to get back the respect they once earned. In 2016 didn’t the media - all forms - gift Donald Trumps campaign something like 200 million(?) or was it 2 billion (?) in free air time and column space. The man couldn’t fart without it being headline news! Breaking news! Important news! If Hillary Clinton farted it was because she had colon cancer! Was rude beyond belief! A smelly, entitled old hag, etc. And they have continued to do it from that day to this. Two bogus assassination attempts, two dead bodies, no one believes anything the media has said about them; and what they haven’t said, the questions they haven’t asked - it could fill an encyclopedia. The lies, the lies and the outright, goddamn lies and failures about the ongoing genocide against the Palestinians - it beggars belief and just shows us all - they are never to be trusted again

Important and long-overdue analysis of mainstream media’s deliberate suppression of news and information in the US and elsewhere. (See “GRADING THE PRESS: F - MINUS” at Leon’s Substack, Sept. 9, 2024).

The people with money, whether they are Jews or not, are afraid to even bring up the subject for fear of losing social status & business contracts with Jewish acquaintances. (read in Vanity Fair)

Interesting article. Such a community of privileged asshats. Going to one of their posh dinners would feel like punishment to me.
