The press of the good old days was much worse — journalists routinely colluded with government officials to cover up everything from serious national security matters to JFK’s affairs and FDR’s disability. The big difference is it worked! https://t.co/1lNmK2qK9I https://t.co/wCVWQCLBCx — PolitiTweet.org

Everybody hates the media. And everyone can find bad articles to point to that explain why they hate the media. But what explains the *change over time* is it really the case that the old media oligopolies of midcentury never messed up? My theory: https://t.co/1lNmK2qK9I — PolitiTweet.org

Back when the market was much less competitive if journalists wanted to control “the narrative” they could generally succeed, which made them seem trustworthy and authoritative. Today’s media is better — you learn about the fuckups — so it seems worse. https://t.co/1lNmK2qK9I — PolitiTweet.org
