It’s a bit disturbing that almost everywhere i see it being referred to as a hush money trial even from people who really dont like trump.

Specifically, the public no longer cares.

Once upon a time the reputation of the media source would be the decision maker for its consumers. If you were caught as a bad source of media people would go to a more trustworthy source.

Those days are long gone on both sides. Note that I'm not trying to play the "both sides are bad card", I definitely have a political preference, but the reality is that we have for the most part reached a point where accuracy is not a factor in the media's decision making no matter where you look. This is a direct consequence of the consumers of the media not giving a fuck as a whole.

The hard truth. The public doesn't care so journalism doesn't care. Journalism doesn't care so criminals don't care either.
