What we (the media) have learned since Trump’s election...Sharyl Attkisson
« on: July 28, 2018, 01:35:24 pm »
The following is a news analysis

Eighteen tumultuous months into the Trump presidency, there’s one thing we’ve learned about the media.

For all our hand wringing over how badly we missed the forecast on Donald Trump’s electability; for all the self-flagellation over obvious signs conveniently ignored; for all of our admissions that we’d gotten so stuck in our own echo chamber, we couldn’t see what was before our eyes; for all of our pledges to re-examine the way we report, seeking to peer outside the DC-New York City bubble; for our promises to listen rather than preach and to report rather than tell people what to think— we didn’t mean it.

A major event last week removed any doubt— the news coverage after President Trump’s meeting with Russia President Vladimir Putin. One universal world view dominated. At best, the meeting and press conference were disasters or treacherous. At worst, Trump proved to be a downright traitor.

This is a great article.
I love Sharyl Attkison's writing.
She is one of the few journalist who will self analyze and analyze the role of the media as a whole.
She is one of the few with their integrity still intact.

"...disruptive genius."

He disrupts what needs disrupting. That takes more moxie than genius.

I thought that was a good line, "disruptive genius".
