This is a sneak preview of this week's installment of The Truth Report:
https://thetruthreportwithchaunceydevega.libsyn.com/ep-126-mark-jacob-explains-how-americas-mainstream-news-media-surrendered-to-donald-trump-and-the-republican-fascist-movement
Mark Jacob is a media critic and a former Metro Editor at the Chicago Tribune and Sunday Editor at the Chicago Sun-Times.
He reflects on his decades-long career in the news media and what he learned about that institution’s failings and how it helped to birth the Age of Trump and American neofascism.
Mark Jacob warns that obsolete habits and cultural norms such as “fairness”, “objectivity”, “bothsidesism”, “access journalism”, and “horse race coverage” by the mainstream corporate news media are acts of cowardice and surrender to the Republican fascists and other malign actors.
