Matt Taibbi has been talking about this recently. He points out that the media has changed its "commercial business model." Previously, he says (a bit naively) that the corporate media attempted to inform a broad audience. Under Trump, the media became more overtly biased, of course. He says that's because Trump was a huge draw commercially, even for -- especially for -- leftwing news outlets. They knew that when they ran segments about Trump, their ratings went up. When they posted about Trump, their clicks went up. So under no circumstances would they stop making their channels and papers Trump News 24/7. This would benefit Trump, of course -- if they reported on him neutrally. So the new business model they chose would be to continue filling their airwaves and newspapers with almost nothing but Trump, but they would appease their audiences, and their own consciences, by making it unrelentingly negative and biased coverage. Further, they noticed that whenever they surprised their almost-entirely leftwing audiences with a story that did not support the preferred leftwing narratives, they would lose "market share." The leftwing audience they cultivated would simply turn them off if they ever ran a story noting that crime was rising, or inflation was rising, or that there might be some problems with open borders. So they simply excised such stories from their channels and newspapers, almost completely. Instead of broadcasting to a, well, broad audience, they instead used market research principles: Their actual market was uniformly leftwing and preferred the hardcore Democrat bubble. So they adapted their business model to stop chasing or serving any other audience except their current hard-left partisan audience, and reported only stories that flattered the prejudices of that audience. Republicans were always bad, Trump was always a Nazi-in-waiting, crime has never been lower, and there is no illegal alien crisis, and if there is a crisis, it's only because Republicans won't pass amnesty plans. I mean, that is true, mostly. But it's not like this just began in 2015. It certainly intensified in 2015, but the corporate Marxist media has always done this, just less brazenly, just less overtly. As we often say: 2015 was merely they year that they pulled off the fig leaf of impartiality and hung the full dong of crazed partisan advocacy "journalism."

Right-wingers are fully aware of what non-right-wing media outlets say. Libs often have absolutely no idea what goes on in right-wing media, they have no understanding of what right-wingers actually think. This is part of why it's so shocking to them now that anyone would question Biden's competence.
++++ This is the censorship problem in a nutshell. By suppressing opposition speech, you *can* force dissent out of the public square. That is not, however, a zero-cost or zero-consequence thing to do. By suppressing dissent, you curtail the ability of dissenters to speak only, but you *also* deny yourself any information about what the dissenters don't like. You create an intelligence vacuum and lose - or at least suppress and retard - your ability to respond to what may be real, actual problems that you *could* solve if you knew about them. This is why totalitarian regimes tend to blow up spectacularly over what appears from the outside to be minutiae. It isn't whatever the trigger was, it's just that the trigger was the proverbial "last straw." The imbalance builds up for a long time - it's just that the rulers can't see it because they denied themselves the information.

It's similar to what happened in the Virginia governor's debate. The media was able to hide McAuliffe's radical beliefs from the public until McAuliffe went and declared them on live TV for all to see.
Everything that the left sees is curated to create and maintain a very specific narrative. All their media is, essentially, The Daily Show. The only time they see reality is when one of their own candidates goes off script on live TV. And, even then, they are so unused to seeing reality that they have difficulty accepting it when it's displayed directly in front of them. They immediately go searching for the comforting lie.

That McConnell tweet rings perfectly true.
Whenever my leftard family members bring up politics and I choose to respond, the inevitable putdown is, "you just get all your information from Fox News." The only person I know who watches Fox News is an out-of-touch old person who runs it constantly as background noise on the TV. I don't even know where to find Fox News on the streaming outfits that I watch. But Leftards are so unaware of what the Right does that they think Fox News rules conservative media.

++++ This is because Taibbi is wrong about timing. The market fragmented long before Trump, because those who saw the obvious - that is, those who saw that the press were nothing more than Party propagandists - created or found alternatives starting in the 90s. That part of the market, by and large, had already left the reservation before Trump came onto the scene, and then the rest stampeded for the exits when they finally saw the same conditions that caused the initial fracturing. The primary market left for these people are Party loyalists and people too set in their ways to change (old people, for the most part). That's it. That's what they have. They have a huge megaphone and set the narrative, but they don't have the eyeballs they used to, and those they retained are Party people.

There was a decent article linked at Real Clear this morning, making the same point about conservative college students knowing what the other side thinks, far beyond what the lefty ones do. But this was true in the 60s when I started paying attention. Even now, with more visibility for our side, this remains true.
I think it was so even much earlier. There is something in the leftist mind that blocks out opposing views. I even see it on our side, occasionally; e.g., the nonaggression principle is not self evidently true, but many on the right think so. Posted by: Eeyore at July 10, 2024 02:30 PM (1bNHn) 40

A leftist write a set of interesting Tweets about why elevators are more expensive in the United States, compared to Europe (which makes it harder to build multi-story apartment buildings). Basically, it comes down to two issues - current American design standards require that you be able to fit two paramedics and a stretcher with a patient on it into an elevator (in Europe, the paramedics transport patients using the stairs), and the union labor that builds elevators in the US is incredibly inefficient and expensive, compared to Europe. His solution to the union labor problem? "More immigration", of course. Posted by: The ARC of History! at July 10, 2024 02:30 PM (uxCna) 42

All that happened, not in 2015, but in 2009 after Obama and their Super Majority, they decided to stop hiding their viewpoint. A viewpoint which to that moment they claimed was never there.
Trump was a response to all of it. The idea that the Left lost its mind in *response* to Trump may be the biggest lie of modern times. They were mental patients going back to the 80's and 90's, covering for the most vile people in the world like Ted Kennedy, a murderer, but certainly under Obama they became an absolute terror. Destroying Joe the Plumber for asking a question and getting Obama to say something accidentally honest, was grotesque. And covering up Benghazi alone should have been the watershed. We STILL don't know what the hell it was about. And don't forget the response by the Left was to throw a random YouTuber in jail. Posted by: ... at July 10, 2024 02:32 PM (V3MYN) 47

@Fritschner Something important, subtle, and largely un-discussed is shaping the way all of us perceive what's happening now. Shifts in editorial standards and a series of biases in reporting and especially amplification are herding the news in one direction.
@TimothyDSnyder editors are afraid of Trump and —rather than examining their inappropriate fear— make themselves feel brave by attacking Biden Who out there can talk to these editors to ask them if they find it easier to dump on Biden than the impeached former loser pediphile rapist racist, and get and in depth answer as to why. Main stream won't ask them After reading about the Epstein press coverup, I find this plausible. Trump and Epstein are birds of a feather after all ETA: Now Trump is threatening to jail the Facebook guy? Hmmmm No democracy, no free press. You'd think these editors would recognize that fact.

Nixon was the 1st pres that gave them a hard time & after bitchslapping George McGovern in '72, the press went to war against Nixon. Once he resigned, they got off on the taste of blood & felt emboldened to do it again. They covered for Jimmy Carter's idiocy & weakness. They relentlessly attacked Reagan. They relentlessly attacked Bush. They covered up Clinton banging everyone in sight until Drudge released the Lewinski story then they STILL tried to cover. Relentless attacks on W.

IMO, the media came out of the closet in their open partisanship in 1996. Well, except for 1964, but that embarrassed them for years after. But I noticed then that they stopped waiting for Clinton, or one of his lackeys* to respond to Dole, but just came out with it right away. And I'd been watching since the 60s.
Of course, it got steadily worse. * He was, after all, busy with the pages and interns. Posted by: Eeyore at July 10, 2024 02:46 PM (1bNHn) 140

The naive opinion of someone like Matt Tabbi are amusing. He acts like news organizations operate autonomously and their bottom line dictates their approach. That's absolutely ridiculous. Every major news organization is a tiny little cog in some massive corporate entity...they're a tax write off if they don't perform.
Instead, the news organizations have become the megaphone and culture/political shaping tool of those with an investment in outcomes. It's no longer a "news" organization. It is, instead, merely a tool to achieve goals (most of which are solidy left of center). Posted by: Orson at July 10, 2024 02:47 PM (dIske) 147

Scientists don't want Starship landing on the moon because it will disturb the water frost. They say the water frost will be key for drinking water, oxygen generation a d rocket fuel. Except....
somewhere between 1-to-2 percent of PSR surface soil. As Space.com noted on June 9, further analysis suggests as much as 60 tons of water may reside deeper within these areas—sizable reserves that astronauts could harvest for drinkable water, oxygen, and hydrogen rocket fuel.

My favorite memory is of Clinton hack George Stephanopolous on the McNeil-Lehrer News Hour on PBS. When confronted with some Clinton problem, Steph answered 1) we didn't do it; 2) we're proud of what we did, and 3) we'll never do it again. [Not a summary, this how it was presented.]This BS was not challenged by any of the wise old owls of PBS. I think it was David Gergen that lapped it up.

When coal died, we moved with my dad -- when my dad had moved from Claymont, Delaware -- from southern Delaware -- northern Delaware to -- to Scranton, and we came back home.

What got me behind Trump was a speech I watched that was labeled "The speech that will get Donald Trump elected." It's a bit of work to find it now.

Insidious, purposeful ignorance peddled by small groups of ideologues has been responsible for the deaths of more people than every plague since the beginning of recorded history. It is the primary auspice of groups intent on doing evil. Truth, is not just inconvenient to these cultists, it is their nemesis. That’s because it crushes every lie and dastardly shibboleth with real, unmistakable and factual conclusions. Jesus spoke prominently about the “truth” partially because of its opposite, converse relationship to evil. That’s one reason why Leftists are so opposed to Christian’s. Accountability for the actions is another. We need to crush these people not only with accountability for their own actions, but with the lucidity of the truth. Without that being accomplished we will never succeed.

Even before I paid attention to news, I wa aware that the so-called news outlets were terribly negative about all things Nixon. I used to say, "If JFK had spit on the Statue of Liberty, the press would have called it a boyish prank; if Nixon did it, they'd crucify him as a traitor."
________________ Media hatred for Nixon began when he outed Helen Gahagan Douglas as a commie in his Senate campaign. She was a commie, to the extent that JFK (at the time a Representative, as was Nixon) donated to Nixon's Senate campaign (when he was running against Douglas). Posted by: Deplorable Jay Guevara at July 10, 2024 03:16 PM (YqDXo) This has been known for a long time. The media looked the other way for- FDR, JFK, etc escapades that were quite a bit worse than Watergate. When I was doing some research for a JFK assassination novel, I came across a book published in 1977 titled- "It Didn't Start With Watergate" by Victor Lasky. Very well researched and more or less totally ignored by the MSM. The Media has been looking the other way for the Dims for a long time. Posted by: naturalfake at July 10, 2024 03:27 PM (eDfFs) 320

They were mental patients going back to the 80's and 90's, covering for the most vile people in the world like Ted Kennedy, a murderer, but certainly under Obama they became an absolute terror. Destroying Joe the Plumber for asking a question and getting Obama to say something accidentally honest, was grotesque. And covering up Benghazi alone should have been the watershed. We STILL don't know what the hell it was about. And don't forget the response by the Left was to throw a random YouTuber in jail.

Taibbi likes to pretend he wasn't/isn't part of the problem.
Posted by: p-squared at July 10, 2024 04:32 PM (i3SWt) 330
Back in 2005 I read a Columbia Journalism Review study saying that media was out of touch, especially public radio, which was (and is) fond of amplifying obscure issues affecting a minority of the populace (for the purpose of agitating for another culture war).
I guess Matt Taibbi never read any critique of media -- until now, when he's positioned outside of it, he sees it all clearly. Matt is naive but I'm glad he came around. Posted by: Coki at July 10, 2024 05:08 PM (Wkrcf) 331
Journalists have been giving conservatives the shaft for ages.
I worked in a newsroom on the wires. The conservative counterpoint and quotes were always placed at the end of articles (inverted pyramid style), so if anything needed cutting for copyfitting, the conservative view got the ax. I'd always rework the AP pieces to move the conservative counterpoint up in the piece. Now, with the internet, leftist journalists use other tricks: anonymous sources, innuendo, loaded language, unflattering photos, and out-of-context quotes.
