Liberal-leaning media outlets – from TV networks and newspapers to progressive podcasts – have increasingly sounded the alarm about threats to marginalized groups in certain states.
The liberal media is really concentrated on mobilizing the party by fear, ridicule and speculation, which I think doesn't do it huge favors. It's good if it causes people to take on the streets and demonstrate, but I feel like it also makes it harder to focus on the important issues (if everything is on fire all the time). Really good points on the fight & flight response hurting long-term planning. The left should be concentrated on how to gain political power, not on running away.
Describing the New York Times as a progressive outlet regarding trans issues is wildly misleading. They have consistently pushed anti-trans stories, ignored pro-trans stories, used sources without credibility or expertise, and have rarely consulted actual trans people in stories about trans people. They might be considered liberal regarding cis women's rights, but certainly not trans women's rights.

They’ve not always been so
