Journalism fails miserably at explaining what is really happening to America
Journalism fails miserably at explaining what is really happening to America
Momentous week of GOP debate, Trump's arrest gets "horse race" coverage when the story's not about an election, but authoritarianism.
Will Bunch expresses what I've been thinking since Trump was elected. American democracy is under attack from within. The fascists who yearn for an authoritarian government in the media are promoting it, and the media who supposedly don't support it fail to recognize it. They are busy trying to follow the political playbook of the 20th century.

This is not really a response to the article.
You're right, it's a response to the part I quoted and responded to, which is why I quoted it and responded to it.
At least I actually contributed something to the discussion as oppose to your pointless comment.. ¯_(ツ)_/¯If you really felt that way, you could really clarify how the founders oligarchic intents relate to present day journalists giving Trump a pass on decades of criminality.
Yes, most left of Mitt Romney would agree there is room for improvement in the Constitution and that rich people have too much power. Certainly capitalism causes newspapers to sell the horse race. But what's your actual thesis? We should give up and let the oligarchs win? That George Washington loved bad journalism?
