ABC News capitulates to Donald Trump. Is this the future of American media?
SalonThe short answer is that the future is already here. Trump guided his crowds’ attention to the media enclosure where the television cameras were set up at nearly every rally and called the people trapped there “the enemy.” The crowds loved it. In 2002 and 2003, the establishment media, chiefly the New York Times, was guilty of repeating Bush administration lies about weapons of mass destruction that did not exist in Saddam Hussein’s Iraq. During the 2016 campaign, the New York Times published countless stories about Hillary Clinton’s “emails,” an entirely made-up “controversy” that was stoked by Donald Trump throughout the campaign, while the paper made far less of the more than two dozen women who had charged Trump with sexual abuse and harassment. The establishment media reported on Clinton’s so-called email problem throughout the campaign, while it largely ignored Trump’s invitation to Russia—“Russia, if you’re listening…” — to look into what happened to Hillary’s emails.
