I agree. It is a tool of this administration, not just “fringe”. Words mean things.

I understand your point, and it’s valid IF you view the media’s position in a snapshot of where they are right now.
But I think it’s equally valid to view the driveby media in terms of their trajectory — and where they are headed is to the fringe. No money, no credibility, zombies, replace by the “alternative media” (which will become mainstream).
It’s a page out of Alinsky to use words — which as you point out DO have meaning — to “frame” them as “fringe”, and then drive them there.
