journalistic organization are vulnerable, risk-averse, profit-seeking corporations.

as long as there’s a roughly 50% chance a Trump Administration controls the regulators, controls DOJ, has a sympathetic Court, there will be a lot of coverage that in retrospect could demonstrate “fairness” where fairness means nothing more or less than sympathetic coverage of Donald Trump.

media orgs are “triangulating”.

coverage will become less sympathetic and more accurate only if/when he’s clearly losing.
