You kind of lose standing to complain about the superficiality of political media if you participate in week-long wall-to-wall coverage of a gossip book

I’ve hardly been on to notice but I’m guessing it’s been wall to wall. But these two ideas are in tension: Trump didn’t really want to win. Trump wanted to win so badly he conspired with a foreign govt to subvert the election.

Bannon lost everything due to this book - If it was just gossip, he would have Major corrections. He only changed one name, said nothing about all of the insults he made about trump, or the countless other quotes. I kind of thought a journalist like you would have googled that.

I think he's more so referring to the substance. Yea it's an insight into a horrible administration and a baffoon president, but with everything happening, this book shouldn't be 24 hr topic rotation. Just justifies everyone saying trump isn't fit. We didn't need a book for that

I mean I engage in plenty as pertains to local politics & movements cos I suspected this kind of headline all along, but what you’re saying conveys it’s own bias (what’s covered), sometimes at the cost of working class priorities— why they get called “bourgeoise press.”pic.twitter.com/Xt7vgGeIEf

Important distinction (maybe): Do you participate in the gossip or do you cover the gossip itself as a topic?

The book caused the president to brutally disown a former cabinet member. Then he tried to prevent its publication with a cease and desist letter. Then he repeatedly denounced it. Perhaps the media is giving the book the same level of importance the president gives it.

It all started with the National Enquirer, then “reality” TV. Now, people are like zombies for their thirst for gossip. So sad. It didn’t have to be this way.pic.twitter.com/jwg6QYHkDt
