news media

At the Columbia Journalism Review, Meghnad Bose makes this intervention about how the news media chooses to present the polls in the context of other information:

How do you explain the denial from the mainstream news media and political class about how Jan. 6 never ended and Trump and the other enemies of democracy were serious and a great danger?

His blunt attacks - accusing "Western fake news media", charities and politicians of "spreading disinformation" - did not improve matters.

What were we seeing that the mainstream news media and commentariat types — especially the professional centrists — were not?

Today’s Democratic Party, the mainstream news media and other defenders of political “normalcy” have few answers for the cultural force and energy of Trump's brand of right-wing populism.
