I spent 90 minutes of my Labor Day yesterday cleaning the floor and listening to Bari ask Walter Russel Mead on “Honestly” why people have lost faith in institutions and is populism gaining momentum? (Not the sexiest choice of long weekend activities for sure.) I’m tired of hearing the media lament why we don’t trust institutions while simultaneously giving us the exact answer.

Bari is part of the problem. She refuses to cover the biggest political scandal of our time (maybe ever) The Biden Crime Family Bribery Scandal. By doing so, she delegitimates her own insittution, i.e., The FP.
Maybe we are just collectively getting mightily sick of Ivy League twits presuming to tell us what is going on...we need an entirely new set of "elites."
I've learned more about the Biden family's financial dealings in The Free Press than I have from the mainstream media. I'd say Bari and Matt and Michael have shed as much light as anyone, and Nellie/TGIF more often than not provides to other new information.
Agree with your point that the Biden family finances story (like Twitter Files, civil rights violations, etc.) deserves a lot more coverage. But I've also worked in this business, and thus would not point a finger at Bari, whose news operation is all of, what, three years old? It takes a large amount of resources to cover this story like the Post did Watergate or the NYT did the Pentagon Papers. The Free Press is a small staff dealing with explosive growth, so they are doing a lot of things right.
If we want to single out news outlets for criticism, shouldn't we start with the big city dailies, the networks, and other large news organizations that have lost all semblance of journalistic objectivity, independence, ethics, and even curiosity?
Whether or not that's the "biggest political scandal of our time," it's not really that important in the grand scheme of things. It's an ephemeral problem, limited to political corruption.
The best articles recently on TFP have been about how technology has affected, defined, and started to rip us apart as people. I think the the three articles by teenagers last week, the one about dating in the modern world, and several others have started to highlight just how damaging digitization and social media have been to us, a species completely unprepared for these things. Similarly, we've invented and created medical technologies (hormone therapies, SSRIs, perhaps upcoming brain-computer interfaces...) that have completely severed our connections with our own bodies. Not to mention gain-of-function research which may have created new diseases, or various chemicals in our water and food supply which have so drastically altered our very natures.
The Bidens may seem important right now, but they're simply a little blip in determining our future as a species, or even if such a future can exist. But climate narratives are extraordinarily important in that aspect.
“The Bidens may seem important right now, but they're simply a little blip in determining our future as a species”
Biden has started a proxy war with Russia to hide the depths of his crimes in Ukraine resulting in 0.5 million dead young men. Also Russia is a nuclear power so that blip might end with a bang.
So that's the new position..."yes, Biden has been selling the US out to numerous foreign governments, including China and Ukraine, but hey, that's not really important, we should be talking about climate change."
We've come a long long way from "Biden knows nothing about his son's business dealings." Which was obvious BS from the start. But your take is that, Joe's corruption does not even merit one major article in the FP? Please.
BTW: to what "extraordinarily important" "climate narratives" are you referring to? Because the only climate narrative worth listening to now is the one that reveals the whole thing to be a mass hysteria producing giant hoax...you did read the article,didn't you?
