    1. One of the consequences of the Trump era is that large parts of the right-wing media have given up even a fig-leaf the pretence of journalism.

        2. Consider Hugh Hewitt, who was a Trump skeptic in 2016. His boss at Salem Media berated him for it & then Hewitt wrote a pro-Trump op ed in Washington Post that boss said, “Wow he took a lot from my email to him and turned it into an article." Journalism?

        3. Or consider reports that Wall Street Journal is increasingly broaching barrier separating editorial from reporting. Or, in Canada, way Toronto Sun management laid out a party line for reporting on election.

        There were a lot of people hiding before Trump...speaking in code and using dog whistles. It's worse than we thought but we can't address it not knowing it's extent.

        Your treating of trump as exceptionally bad is just making it worse. He is the symptom, not the disease. Our entire political system is diseased. Unfortunately you are playing into it.

        & the prestige DC press are celebrating their Pulitzers for breathless stories abt palace intrigue while they utterly failed to vet trump in 2016. No reporting on Mafia ties, Russian financial ties for decades, tax evasion trials etc. @nytimes @washingtonpost failed the people

        Similar shift with racist dog-whistles. As I blogged a while ago, "The dog whistles are now air raid sirens. All subtlety and plausible deniability has been spectacularly jettisoned." https://conservatismisun-american.blogspot.com/2016/08/from-burke-to-trump.html …
