This can't be the whole truth, though. What ivanafterall is describing is true for essentially the whole western world. Media (or at least high-brow media) feel they need to be respectable, and to be respectable you have to be perfectly neutral. Not just in America did established media feel the need trivialise Musk's obvious Hitler salute, this happened all over. I follow Dutch and German media, and haven't seen a mainline newspaper call it what it was.
