Excellent column.
His original book “bias” was a thoughtful and compelling effort to explain the “group-think” that had so infected the media. I read it and still have mine around here somewhere.
I remember thinking at the time that it was far worse than what he described and tried to defend in many ways, but he made some good points.
I am happy to see that he finally wrote this column. I think it is far worse today than it was even a decade ago and it is not just the animus towards Trump. The lavish adoration the media gave to Obama was equally disturbing to me so while many view the “bias” starting with Trump it was well established long before.
The corporate media is about the ratings game and money far more than truth and intrepid journalism. People pay for what they want to the demise of truth.
There is no longer much of a check/balance to be found in journalism or if it is found in the wild world of internet/citizen journalism where you have to wade through lots of crazy crap (on both sides) to find pieces of the truth.
There are still some great journalist out there doing fine work though - Strassel, Hemmingway, York, Gregg Re, Solomon, Carter, Herridge, Atkinson, Goodwin, and others remain on my reading list. The art of tough reporting is not completely dead even as it has been taken over by corporate media.
