Wisconsin State Journal headline normalizes and sanewashes DOGE as Trump and Musk take a wrecking ball to American democracy

 

And the lede is even worse, as Bill Barrow transcribes his way to Doomsday.  
Good-government advocates, anti-tax conservatives, politicians of various stripes and everyday Americans grouse about “waste, fraud and abuse” across the U.S. government. 
President Donald Trump and the Department of Government Efficiency, led by the world’s richest man, Elon Musk, opened the latest chapter for a phrase hailed as common sense and derided as propaganda

Not to mention that his first quote is from an ideologue at the far-right American Enterprise Institute.

Yes, folks, the legacy press is failing us with their bothsidesism.  Badly.
