Quick thought…
Wrote about Kimmelgate yesterday and was surprised by some of the responses I got, especially in private, from media members. The unexpected outcome is that media people on the left who reached out were perhaps more inclined to see what I see on this issue, big picture. For example, stock lefty HoS guest and childhood best friend Matt Klinman perceives the contours of this Trump vs. The Media situation roughly the way I do: As a power struggle that’s tipped in the right’s favor because traditional media corporations have collapsed into needing merger approval from the government. Meanwhile, I have conservative friends who don’t quite get the New Media Order, at least don’t in my opinion. So, what’s my explanation for this chasm?
