The 10 Most Mortifying Media Moments of 2024

If there is a trend we've discovered over the last 8 years of creating this year-end compilations, it's the corporate media's increasingly transparent desperation to ensure Americans obey our self-appointed philosopher kings. And it's probably for this reason that trust in the media collapsed this year to historic lows. Their objective has become less about holding powerful accountable on behalf of the people, but rather trying — increasingly in vain — to hold the people accountable on behalf of the powerful.

Whatever you think about Trump, he clearly represents everything they despise. And serving as Trump's official opposition has become their defining identity. As in years prior, the world is overflowing with sensational scandals, intrigues, and incredible insights into the future, but in the hive-mind of the corporate media, Trump's the only beat worth covering.

So don't blame us when you notice that most of this year's most mortifying media moments are political. Their obsession is not something we're able to cure.
