"But the mainstream media only describes roughly half the media landscape. The other half of the media is a right-wing messaging apparatus that makes no effort to follow traditional journalistic norms."
"HALF?!" Is he kidding?
Fox News (and more recently Newsmax) vs ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, CNN, MSNBC and NPR is "half"? And the unequal ratio in print media is about the same.
"Republicans communicate to their base through a media that functionally operates as part of their party, while Democrats communicate to their base through a media that still exerts substantial independence."
Says the commentator for a magazine that loathed GW Bush for 8 tears, positively swooned over 8 years of Obama, LOATHED Trump for 4 years, and had practically NOTHING negative to say about Hillary or Biden when they were running. "Substantial independence," my foot. 😂
"If you want to understand the strange difficulty that Joe Biden’s sane, competent administration has in yielding measurably higher approval than Trump’s insane, incompetent presidency, the asymmetrical relationship between the two parties and their respective media environments is the most important place to start."
"Sane?" "Competent?" An unprecedented crisis at our southern border and a deadly debacle in Afghanistan is "sane" and "competent"?
I think the liberal media are indeed turning on Biden because they have belatedly realized that having a mentally impaired man as President and an unqualified woman as Vice President will lead to further disasters, not the least of which (as far as the narrow interests of the media are concerned) will be the mid-term elections next year.
