The rise and fall of Gov. Cuomo is a case study in the dangers of a partisan press.
If we had a national media that was half as interested in the open corruption of a Democratic Governor as they were in the mean tweets of a Republican President, we never would’ve gotten to this point.
Every J school should have a course about understanding political biases and what they mean for both the topics that are covered and the tenor of that coverage. Particularly when everyone in a news room tends to have the same ones.
I know this was a cause celebre back in 2016 but obviously it didn’t stick. Every newsroom should be desperately courting conservative journalists because that’s the only way newsrooms will start to see their own blindspots.
