Description

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 Nobody in the media seems to understand why Americans have little to no trust in them. The media has been experiencing record profits since Donald Trump labeled them the enemy of the people, and many in the press wear their public repudiation as a badge of honor.
#2 The pretense that the presidential campaign was anything but an insane, absurdist reality show was completely gone by the time Trump got involved. Reporters openly enjoyed the ridiculousness of it all.
#3 As Trump began to dominate the 2016 election season, media members began to openly shame themselves for having helped him get this far. They claimed that they should have covered his insanity more thoroughly.
#4 By 2016, it was clear that Trump was created by the media. Reporters began to sound sheepish notes, as if chastened by public displeasure. They began to talk about recasting their whole approach to Trump.

Insights from Chapter 1

#1

Nobody in the media seems to understand why Americans have little to no trust in them. The media has been experiencing record profits since Donald Trump labeled them the enemy of the people, and many in the press wear their public repudiation as a badge of honor.

#2

The pretense that the presidential campaign was anything but an insane, absurdist reality show was completely gone by the time Trump got involved. Reporters openly enjoyed the ridiculousness of it all.

#3

As Trump began to dominate the 2016 election season, media members began to openly shame themselves for having helped him get this far. They claimed that they should have covered his insanity more thoroughly.

#4

By 2016, it was clear that Trump was created by the media. Reporters began to sound sheepish notes, as if chastened by public displeasure. They began to talk about recasting their whole approach to Trump.

#5

The New York Times’ Jim Rutenberg argued that journalists had an obligation to ward off the historical threat Trump posed. He suggested that we should throw out the textbook American journalism has been using for the past half-century and approach Trump in a different way.

#6

The media’s coverage of the 2016 election was a clear example of how the press has degraded itself to the point where voters are willing to cheer any candidate that tells them to fuck off.

#7

The media decided that they would no longer use the word misstatement to describe Trump’s statements, but instead use the word lie. They also decided to use the word Democracy Dies in Darkness as their new slogan.

#8

I had a theory of the presidential campaign in 2012. On the plane, two businesses were going on in tandem. The candidates were raising money, which mostly entailed taking cash from big companies in exchange for policy promises. In the back, reporters were gunning for hits and ratings.

#9

In order to sell the suspense of a presidential race, reporters had to make it seem as if the contest were close. In reality, everyone knew who would win and was just trying to drum up ratings.

#10

Trump was not a half-bright con man, and he was way better than the average person. He used the same tactics against Clinton that he used against Bush, and he was successful.

#11

After Trump’s victory, I expected the media to take a long, hard look at itself and figure out what went wrong. Instead, we created an environment in which reporters are more committed than ever to the elite policing behaviors that won Trump the presidency in the first place.
Insights from Chapter 2

#1

The media has sold audiences on the idea that they should be anxious, pre-pissed, and addicted to conflict. They also sell content that is just plain stupid, which is the Isn’t This Weird effect.

#2

There are only two baskets of acceptable opinion: Republican and Democrat, liberal and conservative, left or right. This is drilled into us from a young age. By the time we hit college, we will have chosen the political identity we will stick with for the rest of our lives.
