The Trump administration and conservative publications regularly denounce the mainstream media, but it’s striking that they depend overwhelmingly on the reporting of The New York Times and The Washington Post. They’ve been talking non-stop about the Harvey Weinstein case, broken by The Times, and about the revelation that the D.N.C. and Clinton campaign paid for some of the famous dossier on Trump, a story broken by The Washington Post. And by the way, that’s a point made by the Red for the Blue newsletter, which I recommend to liberals trying to get a better handle on conservative news media. |
