“It was clear from day one that a Trump presidency would be authoritarian, bigoted, serially dishonest, outside the bounds of any previous modern presidency. It was clear that we shouldn’t normalize him. But we did.” @mehdirhasan calls out the media's complicity... and whiteness.

Two minutes. Just give @KarenAttiah two minutes to parse the media's responsibility for the Trump catastrophe, and how many of us in the industry have misunderstood and underestimated "how white violence in this country has shaped the country as we know it."

Now that it has been felt by most Americans, it allows you to relate to those people who deal with this every day. Understand more about what people of color go through? Every day, just because they were not born white?
Funny, cause white violence has been perpetrated with impunity for hundreds of years.
yeah, but she’s not the VP in charge of ratings, who’s bonus depends on satisfying the C-suite people at $T, #CMCSA, $DIS, or $VIAC
Yes. Trump was great clickbait and made the media’s job so easy. What new horrible thing did he do today? Can you believe what he’s said now? And the “both-sides” that gives equal time (or any time) to the racist, hateful, anti-factual (alternative facts) is responsible.
#ComplicitMedia STILL refuse to #investigate, analyse and NAME racism and #corruption in action. #MaryMiller quoted HITLER! NOTHING substantial was SAID or DONE. #tRumpToady #LouisDeJoy OPENLY DISMANTLED the #USPS to SUPPRESS VOTES and NOTHING of substance was said or done.
White rule is always been there. Trump exposed the true American hippocrisy.
The Trump presidency has ALWAYS been about White Supremacy! As they say - not all Republicans are racists but all racists are Republicans.

Excellent discussion. In 2016 I tried an experiment and put down social media and Twitter. I listen to my favorite NPR programs and was so sick of hearing Trump's name I counted 147 times that was spoken and I knew some big causes a platonic shift and by 2017 all was lost

Not understanding what the question is about the media's responsibility in all this. The media didn't egg this on TRUMP DID
