A Post-Trump Media Landscape
By Joe Cunningham | Dec 16, 2020 5:00 AM ET
Over the past five or so years, the media has shifted its business model to focus on making virtually every story about Donald Trump. From local news stories to every conceivable national scenario, Trump has been the feature.
“How did he influence this?â€
“What do Republicans think about this tweet?â€
“This is surely the end of the Trump administration!â€
Years of this constant barrage. Nonstop. The biggest mainstream outlets – CNN, MSNBC, the Washington Post and the New York Times – as well as conservative outlets like Fox News and OANN have all based their readership, viewership, and clicks off making everything about Trump.
But now, he is on his way out and Joe Biden will be in the White House. The mainstream, left-leaning outlets are already slipping back into old habits, like running features on Biden’s incoming “all-star†administration. They are writing these glowing pieces about how Biden will make things better. All because he is Not Trump. There is no evidence that Biden will make things better, but that’s what the mainstream media believes.
