Trump Tames Media

Mark Elias

This is not to suggest that every journalist or legacy news outlet has capitulated. A few notable ones have not. The Atlantic and the New Yorker, continue to produce first rate coverage of the threat Trump poses to our country and our democracy. So do individual anchors like Nicolle Wallace and columnists like Jen Rubin at the Washington Post. And don’t forget that Harry Litman resigned from the L.A. Times rather than obey.

There are many others — too many to single out. My point is not that all legacy media has given in to Trump. But enough have, including too many owners,  that it affects the overall effectiveness of the industry.
