Hometown newspapers are coming for Trump’s enablers

Tright here was as soon as a time when lawmakers and politicians had motive to concern a scathing editorial in a nationwide newspaper. That’s clearly not the case.

An extended and fruitful marketing campaign of demonisation of the institution press, in addition to the dissipation of media energy and a spotlight, has all-but rendered them toothless. Within the Trump period, it’s not unusual for his acolytes to boast of such assaults, the higher to show to their base that they’re efficient warriors in opposition to the liberal elite. 

The identical trick merely doesn’t work on hometown newspapers. It’s one factor to rail in opposition to the Jeff Bezos-owned Washington Put up, fairly one other to go to battle with the newspaper your mom picks up day-after-day to examine the native listings.
