As a few of the commenter on The Free Press pointed out, this all started way before Donald Trump. This is the product of our education system. It has taken decades to cultivate this mindset.
I caught the author's bias when he explained his opinion that this started with among other things a "truth- impaired president". What president hasn't lied to us?
It will take decades to fix the problem with journalism. Diversity of thought is not the diversity NPR or others want.
That caught me, too. Seriously? And you're a grown man with experience in this world and suddenly the "truth impairment" of this particular elected official disturbs you? What a phony baloney, self-deluding bullshit artist.
Isn't he the maverick. As a radio guy why didn't he mea culpa the npr voice. It needs to be overhauled. They all sound like what he describes himself as, smug upper class coastal. His bottom line: "Defunding isn’t the answer. There’s still a need for a public institution blah blah blah." Sure the "fractured" country still needs you to unfracture us and we should all pay your salary.
I stopped listening to NPR in 2010 or so. There was an interview with Paul Ryan, who I hated at the time, in which they just lobbed softball after softball question at him, no scrutiny whatsoever. So ironically it was because they weren’t liberal enough for me (at the time).
I'm sorry, NPR is no longer journalism but Glen Grenwald is? Give me break. That really sinks the credibility of your article. Also Berliner's critique fails to mention that Mueller did indeed find intent to collude from the Trump campaign, the Russia story wasn't the nothing-burger he asserts.

I think that's accurate. I've made the same point myself, in fact.
But I do think the presence of Trump is what exposed it in a way never before. He triggers these people in a way no one else can.
I agree. I think that Donald Trump is what triggered "these people". And continues to do so.

It was always group think. You’re only just now noticing.
