A few days ago someone on Substack admonished me for suggesting that legacy media was helping Trump either on purpose or indirectly through greed and incompetence.

We can’t deny when the media is failing. It’s like pretending there isn’t a cancerous lesion.

I hadn't thought about that way of reading it, but I do believe you have a very good point!
Why is it that so many people think you are the problem when you point out that the emperor has no clothes???
Well stated. The admonisher likely supports the Convicted Felon.
