You keep hearing some members of this administration talk about automation and robots for factory jobs, and also AI for office jobs. If the press were at all smart they would continually ask these morons to keep explaining this contradiction. But I would love hear what they think will happen if everyone in the country loses their job. It's not going to be good for the %.01 either.

Oh yeah, only right wing brown-nosers have White House press credentials anymore.

That would require the media to not be owned by the same kind of people that own the factories.

Or afraid of losing access. They keep throwing soft balls because they’re worried about being banned from press conferences and interviews.

Access journalism is one of the many things destroying the faith people have in media
