      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.

          It's almost like a massive transition into authoritarianism is happening and most commentators are either complicit or too slow and privileged to catch on.

          such shenanigans were going on in the 80-90s, when I worked in newspapers/magazines … the difference is that management doesn't care if it's leaked out. In fact, I suspect that it improves their bottom line to be public about it now.

          This isn’t just a conservative problem in Ontario. The liberal Toronto Star and the Liberal Party have demonstrated a remarkably prescient synchronicity. One makes a claim, and the other just happens to have a full commentary on the same subject ready at the same time.
