This suggests DOJ is continuing its investigation, which means one of two things: 1) DOJ *still* isn’t convinced they have all of the classified material Trump took when he left office. 2) They have an ongoing criminal investigation of this matter that could result in charges.

Whole Foods has fired workers in 6 states for wearing Black Lives Matter apparel The workers & NLRB say labor law protects their right to wear BLM apparel, but a Whole Foods lawyer told the NLRB that "President Trump referred to BLM as a 'symbol of hate'" https://t.co/qyxwX8DMud https://t.co/KKJh6agFo3

I think people apply very naive frames to these “trust in media” questions. The key point IMO is that each individual media outlet has very strong incentives to portray “the media” as untrustworthy and to highlight bad work from competitors.
