Editorial amnesia signals issue realignment

Mainstream editorial silence about policy wins (immigration cuts, affirmative‑action rollbacks, anti‑DEI measures) reveals not merely neglect but an active realignment: media outlets stop policing certain conservative policy achievements when those policies have become politically stabilized. That selective forgetting is itself a political signal reshaping accountability and what topics become contestable during elections. — If major newspapers quietly stop policing certain policy shifts, voters and institutions lose an accountability channel and the Overton window shifts without explicit democratic debate.
