Our national news media were already broken before Donald Trump ran for president, but they are undeniably worse now.

Our national news media were already broken before former President Donald Trump ran for office, but they are undeniably worse now.

“The Washington Post stands by Philip Bump’s reporting, and your characterization of his articles as ‘false’ is incorrect,” the Post wrote to Mr. Turley. In 2018, for example, both the Post and The New York Times won Pulitzer Prizes for “deeply sourced, relentlessly reported coverage in the public interest that dramatically furthered the nation’s understanding of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and its connections to the Trump campaign, the President-elect’s transition team and his eventual administration.”

These claims of Russian interference were not true, the laptop was authentic, and Politico’s story has never been corrected. It sits there on Politico’s website to this day, completely untouched and just as wrong as it was the day it was posted almost three years ago. I was a local television reporter years ago, and the thing I feared most every day was getting something wrong in a story. It’s obvious that many of today’s journalists are not concerned about that as long as they are still targeting the correct people.
