Right, it means at a new level which has never been seen before.
Which is accurate. The headline didn’t claim illegal nor nefarious. The headline is accurate in a literal sense.

And my own comment above is downvoted for some reason.
I often hear complaints from centrists about 'liberal echo chambers' (eg a spate of recent articles about Bluesky), but few of them seem to appreciate the scope and scale of the conservative media ecosystem, or its sheer cynicism. Consider this example, from an interview conducted 20 years ago: https://zfacts.com/zfacts.com/metaPage/lib/Weekly_Standard_M...
Back then, conservative media played the role of an upstart alternative to the staid and often smug mainstream establishment. 2 decades later, what used to be a cottage industry has become dominant in its sector. Media Matters is a left-leaning outlet, but this recent report of theirs is largely quantitive and its claims seem well-founded in empirical research: https://www.mediamatters.org/google/right-dominates-online-m...
i guess i mispoke in my previous comment. Didn't know Joe Rogan was part of "conservative media" . I do listen to joe rogan sometimes because i do have lots of common interests like mma, ancient history , fitness ect ( although i am kind of bored of his repetitive takes like mma should happen in a basketball court )
I guess what is the equivalent left/democrat podcast to joe rogan ? I tried to listen to erza klien but that podcast always puts me in bad mood and the host indeed is "smug" . I never heard him admit to any of his bad qualities or his own selfishness like joe rogan. even his pious and fake intonation is so irritating to me.
btw i am a democrat and an immigrant.
Perhaps because you're defending, and assuming good faith behavior, from an organization which is committing violations against your fellow man on a daily basis?
I'm not sure those are the threshold for being noteworthy. A novel application of medical payment information seems worth one's attention but you don't need to click through.
