To the editor: Jonah Goldberg writes that President-elect Donald Trump received despite the efforts of the monolithic liberal media to inform a story about his unworthiness. He describes this final result because the American folks writing their very own narrative, as a result of the media don’t matter.
He doesn’t point out the existence of Fox Information and MAGA promoters on-line, which feed a vigorous media ecosystem of MAGA narratives. He additionally implies that since medical doctors and plumbers don’t purport to be related to the functioning of democracy, journalists shouldn’t both.
The concept media don’t matter a lot is an odd take for an expert political commentator.

To the editor: Surprisingly, Goldberg both fails to level out the distinction between journalists and opinion writers, or he willfully misleads.
Journalists conduct analysis, interview sources, confirm info after which produce an article. Not all opinion writers use these safeguards.
In our fact-free universe, the dying of journalism is scary. That the most cancers of social media is what passes for an informer of the general public is terrifying.
