Don't bet on it. They pretended being introspective in 2016, too. They will go back to their hyperventilating ways as soon as a 3-letter agency stooge feeds them any uncorroborated anti-Trump story.

I've been thinking about possible abrupt position changes in MSM....

I'm 80% convinced that most of extreme pro-establishment coverage we've seen across entire MSM is due to govt meddling/pressure/money. (I mean just look at how extreme the Twitter files were).

I think NY Times realizes that if/when Trump takes command and installs his new cabinet and staff, the gravy train of "free gov money" is coming to an end, thus they need to have an actual subscriber base to survive. Thus, the sudden shift to center......

Suddenly, just today, Morning Joe discovered that inflation is bad. He's outraged.
