Mainstream liberal media has learned little from failures highlighted by Trumpism; they're dying to revive pre-Trump bad habits — while social media apps amuse us into passivity
Nice and thought-provoking, as ever. Not to diminish your take, but it seems to me fairly predictable that when the Times abandoned its "objective" stance to take on Trump's existential attack on all good things, there would be confusion if a Democratic administration took over. Does one move permanently over to a more European sort of journalism, where you more openly write according to your institution's political preferences, or does one snap back in "objectivity" and pretend no preference now that that particular [Presidential] threat has subsided? Whatever else is involved in Wolfe's story, she clearly did not get the (unwritten) memo.
