Yep, AOC and MTG are essentially the same person, on opposite ends of the spectrum.

The problem is they are both used to drive news cycles, which is what the media wants because it generates clicks, thus revenue. Journalism has degenerated into nothing more than social media. 

It used to be true journalists kept decorum, sanity and facts glued together. Those days are long gone. Now it’s about generating narratives and fomenting discourse. Most of what passes for journalism today is establishmentarianism. This applies across the ideological spectrum. The only way to return accountability and order to government is to reestablish the tenets of true journalism. I don’t see that happening anytime soon.
