Walter Jacobson’s Perspective 11-14-24: The media helped Donald Trump get reelected

Walter Jacobson's Perspective

My computer this morning, along with everything else I’m reading, is loaded with news about Donald Trump creating a new White House administration. What I’m not reading, because it’s not being reported anymore, is news about how the newspapers and those talking heads on television helped Donald Trump get reelected. For the end of his most recent campaign for president, when Kamala Harris was gaining support in public opinion polls causing Trump to need help, he began showing up night after night on ABC, NBC and CBS network news and day after day and night, in lengthy interviews on CNN and MSNBC cable news. Huge numbers of voters were listening to Trump, sometimes almost tearfully, pleading for help. And on Election Day, now nine days ago, more than 75 million people voted for Trump, compared to 71 million for Harris. Bottom line, the media, that had for so many years been working overtime to keep Trump out of the White House, opened the doors to let him in. End of story this morning. My story.
