Legacy media:  It's  condescending and elitist to go around telling the proles stuff they don't want to believe.  

Also legacy media:  Golly, these proles sure are clueless.

"legacy" can't come soon enough, AFAIC. I'm looking forward to Wikipedia saying "The New York Times was a newspaper . . ."

NYT new motto,
It is our task given by wealthy owners to tell the people the story they want them to hear and not the reporting they need.
In other words, "punish the afflicted and pleasure the comfortable"
