my latest—a media low point from Trump era; pressrun.media/p/judge-confir…
“Now that a federal judge has confirmed that the press got played, badly, what's the media response going to be? Will there by any introspection, will editors and producers reflect on how and why they got taken for a ride on one of the most important news stories of 2019?”
“The likely answer is no to all those questions, because when it comes to being honest and open about grave blunders the press made while covering Trump, there's no appetite for it, except when the criticism comes from conservatives screaming "liberal media bias."
"Three years into Trump's ransacking of democracy, and Republicans completely disregarding the truth, journalists played along with the charade, running in front of cameras to announce Trump had been "exonerated," without having a read a single sentence of the Mueller report."
