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.

Such a simple statement that explains so much.
The flip side of this is "Gell-Mann amnesia" — the opinion that the popular news reports about your professional field are full of shit, but that the reports about everyone else's fields are probably pretty much correct.
