The Heir excoriates the media for its "Donkeys In Disarray" type coverage, which he takes as a biased editorial disguising itself as reporting analysis.  He sees this as going down in the media hall of shame along with their botched and unprofessional coverage of the withdrawal from Afghanistan, and he will continue to stack up moments of shame on the media's part where he sees fit to demonstrate what passes for a so-called "Fourth Estate" in the modern age.  How can the media, he wonders, possibly make the case for free speech when just about everyone in the media is saying the same thing out of fear of being different and not going on the same page as Donkeys In Disarray?  This is something he thinks they should think about, particularly if the takeaway is something to the effect of the media saying, you know we're wrong, *we* know we're wrong, but we have to do this, because this is the way we've *always* done it.  Actually, no, you *don't* have to do it that way.  You can still stand for free speech principles instead of what the Heir sees as caving into dark and hidden advertisers buying media silence on how such a Disarray type headline is not actively supported by the evidence on the ground.  It's actually contradicted with respect to the first Donkey in Bachelor Blue State to get a second term since 1977.  The only reason why it's "close" is because this sort of thing never happened before.  The Heir also wonders how Donkeys are in Disarray all over the country when a Donkey Senate leader in BBS that no-one else in the country's has ever heard of loses his seat.  He also doesn't think the media should overgeneralize based on Terry McAuliffe whom the Heir doesn't see as really all that popular in Virginia when as chair of the DonkeyNC back in 2004 he allowed the loss of the Last Meaningful Election Ever, and that was nearly 20 years ago.  He sees McAuliffe as part of an increasing old guard as opposed to up-and-comers like Eric Adams for example, or Sheila Oliver in BBS, or Wendy Wu in Boston (he *thinks* that's her first name).  Those are the kinds of leaders the people will be wanting among the Donkeys For The People.  So he's hoping that the media will issue a mass retraction in the next seven days rather than dust this biased "coverage" under the rug with the use of media cycles.
