| ‘Media reckoning’ over Biden |
| The reviews for “Original Sin” keep coming. Maureen Dowd read an early copy, and she says Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson “show how Biden and his inner circle created an alternate universe that they tried to sell to the media and the public — the sort of corrosive mirage of unreality that Trump excels at building.” Day by day, a “media reckoning” over past coverage of Biden is underway, Margaret Sullivan writes for The Guardian. (Yesterday’s audio adds to it.) “As a media critic, I’m always happy to see a good reckoning,” Sullivan writes. “But this one makes me wonder. When is the reckoning coming for the failures to cover Trump effectively? At what point will there be a general acknowledgment and some serious self-scrutiny about the way big media failed to adequately convey what would happen if Trump were elected again?” |
