Once you decide to be a defender of democracy instead of a scared rabbit this one is simple:
RNC weighs limiting NBC’s access at this summer’s convention >>> https://www.politico.com/news/2024/03/28/rnc-nbc-convention-ronna-mcdaniel-00149620
NBC should just call their bluff, and say OK, if we don't get full access we won't cover your convention at all.
AND the other networks should back them up and tell the RNC that everyone gets full access or they aren't covering it either.
Enough of this garbage!

It's not insane, but it is incredibly dangerous. By decimating objective truth and replacing it with his unreality he binds them to himself as the arbiter of everything. An omnipotent ruler incapable of error because he creates his own actuality. They accept that whatever he says is fact. This is what the most extreme cults do.

Very true. Though Rosen says the media is getting better about identifying untruths. The more sublet point is that they still report these untruths, albeit as untruths, but in so doing normalize dishonesty as a viable political strategy. The net effect is still to abdicate their role as defenders of the truth and by extension as defenders of democracy.

NYU Journalism Professor Jay Rosen is one of the smartest people on the intersection of media and politics. A couple days ago he was interviewed for this podcast about the NBC Ronna McDaniel matter: https://newrepublic.com/article/180118/nbc-meltdown-ronna-mcdaniel-hiring-fiasco
This highly recommended discussion, which could be co-title The War On Truth, is essential to a broader understanding of the media today as it tries to apply normal methods to a candidate and party that fundamentally play by different rules.
