No matter how much someone may trust an individual reporter, anchor or correspondent, it will not overcome distrust of the media institution they are working for. Democrats especially distrust Bezos and Ellison. No individual anchor or brand packaging will undo that. CNN will soon feel this as well.

The veteran correspondents staying at 60 Minutes are making the same mistake WaPo reporters did. 60 Minutes fate lies with viewers, not Bari Weiss or any internal deal she cut with them. Viewers will abandon 60 Minutes just as they did WaPo because, for good reason, they no longer trust the owner.

They’re so happy about it. Destroying Black political power is all they ever wanted.
But videos have also captured the animus and glee with which largely white
Republican caucuses throughout the South have carried out Mr. Trump's request for widespread gerrymandering. William Arnold, the director of justice and re-entry programs at the advocacy group Memphis for All, said the experience of watching the Republicans vote on the maps in Nashville left him shaken. "They were laughing.
Laughing and smiling," he said. He described it as "one of the most jarring experiences of my life."
