But there seems to be a lot of dark patterns used by the press, and in the recent years it has only seemed to increase: Click-baitism, Gellman-Amnesia, rudimentary fact checking fails, feelings-journalism, a general sense of self righteousness and superiority, act self-defesively, seeking power to act as gatekeepers of information (They seem to like to push a 'gatekeepers are good narrative'), and are often too trusting of government, police and armed forces.
Even recently when I watch the Trump briefings, I see journalists speaking as if in anger because the President is belittling them: especially when he played his compilation video: they where quick to dub it as a campaign video, and networks cut it from the broadcast: but mostly in contained clips of TV news downplaying the Covid-19 situation. No whatever the motivations of Trump are, the media seem to act self-defesively, even with anger and resentment around him. Trump may hate the press, but the feeling appears to mutual now: but really the press shouldn't love or hate anyone.
Also I see lot of journalists ask Trump a question and then constantly interrupt him while He is answering: this dose not look good on TV for the journalists credibility is my view.
Fascinating. The head of the worlds most powerful and extensive intelligence service, and largest and best funded medical agencies justifies his actions by saying some random journalists didn’t know any better either? And you blame the journalists for calling him out on that?
Only it seems the press lack humility and an understanding of their own fallibility as a human institution, and seems very self-righteous. Trump may not deal with them fairly, but that doesn't mean the press has to do likewise. Press seems more bent on defending their honour, than being the conduits of information to the public.
