Media’s dependence on government inches towards permanence
For the first time in the nation’s history, almost all the media covering an election have a direct, even existential, stake in the outcome.
And when the votes are all counted, a great many if not most of those on the losing sides will blame it on the reporters, editors, headline writers, and producers who will be managing the coverage in the weeks ahead. It’s an open question whether they will be forgiven. Some may be. Most probably won’t.
