Opinion: How should the media cover a criminal defendant running for president? Readers weigh in
LA TimesPeople rally outside the federal courthouse in Miami where former President Trump was arraigned on June 13. It’s been about 50 years since Donald Trump entered public life and almost seven since he was elected president, and many in the media are still asking: How do we cover this guy? Times columnist LZ Granderson faulted commentators who called the former president’s indictments “unprecedented,” as if Trump hasn’t faced legal problems since the 1970s. ———— To the editor: Like LZ Granderson, I’m appalled by all things Donald Trump, and I’m sympathetic to the idea that we’d be better off if the media ignored him completely. To the editor: I found Granderson’s otherwise thoughtful column troubling for overlooking decades of outstanding journalism about Trump and for blurring the lines among various forms of media.
