      Politics in a populist moment works very well with villains to target. Mass media is easy target for many reasons. https://twitter.com/jbarro/status/881516263222194178 …

      Media, especially CNN, has long treated politics as a spectacle and even hired master of the debased form, Cillizza, after the election.

      During the election, CNN hired hacks just to shout on screen. You turn politics into pro wrestling, and a pro will wrestle it away from you.

      There are many great journalists and amazing journalism being done. But, overwhelmingly, esp. TV media turned politics into a clown show.

          Pearl clutching after all this is worse than useless. Only one productive thing media can do now: Do your job, unlike before the election.

          As for the political? Naming and targeting political actors is effective politics. Dems could try figuring it out, but with real targets.

          Exactly why I read more News sources versus TV Journalism and I read a variety sources to get a full picture of what's actually happening

          With respect, I disagree. Although some are better than others, only real clown show on Cable news is Fox News.
