COPORATE MEDIA’S COVERAGE OF TRUMP MAKES IT MORE AND MORE COMPLICIT

Historian Lawrence Glickman tweets:

“A central fact is that, in the midst of a UAW strike, Trump spoke last night at a nonunion factory. Yet the @nytimes mentions this only at the end of the 6th paragraph and the @washingtonpost brings it up in only the 19th paragraph. These are failures of framing.”

I know how fraught journalism is at the moment. I want great newspapers like these to survive. But they have got to rethink the way they keep trying to normalize Trump, in the name of—what?

Perhaps that would indeed be one key to their survival.
