    Montana body-slamming is about many things, one key here is the decimation of local news as 90% of new ad $$ goes to Facebook or Google.

        Local politicians have less scrutiny than ever—despite heroic efforts by some of what remains of local press. Rare national attention.

        Without robust local press, corruption and impunity become normalized, and then trickles up. We glimpse when national attention goes there.

        Two entities who couldn't care less about editorial judgement as long as content brings in ad dollars & doesn't cause too much backlash.

        I definitely think that's important but it's also a result of politics as entertainment.https://lareviewofbooks.org/article/celebrity-warfare-image-politics-age-trump/ …

        Which is true, but that is also tied to the funding model... Celebrity narrative is more watchable, easier to fill time.

        Destruction of the media was due to fecklessness in dealing with the corporate proto-Fascists in the 80s.

        Thank you so much for writing this! I'm a reporter for national + local news orgs, and it is SHOCKING how little money they have now.

        I've often fantasized about becoming a billionaire and creating a bunch of local investigative news sites across the country.
