Did the media learn nothing from its disastrous coverage of Trump and Clinton in 2016? | Rebecca Solnit theguardian.com
As much as I love my New York Times subscription (although getting a reasonable subscription price is like dealing with the cable company, constantly threatening to cancel) the obsession on Biden’s age, while minimizing Trump’s threat, gave me a bit of PTSD about “Hilary’s emails”. While I was never a big Hilary fan myself, (and the email server was a stupid thing she shouldn’t have done) she was clearly capable and the only reasonable choice, and the outcome of her Electoral College defeat—aided no doubt by “but her emails”—was disastrous for the country. Perhaps the news media needs to be done with the profit motive.
