American Crisis / Margaret Sullivan / Jul 10, 2023
“There is the straight-up propaganda you see in the right-wing media, with the worst offender being Fox News…More insidious is the way the mainstream press (often accused of leaning left) happily adopts the language and framing of the right. Though they’d never admit it, they do this in order to ward off charges, from the right, of being unfair. The result: what I call performative neutrality, which does a subtler form of damage.”
