I think it may be worse than Reich thinks. He did not talk about money and the profit motive which drives MSM owners and managers. A Trump presidency would be good for business. Angering the MAGA crowd risks losing readership. Angering corporate advertisers like Exxon and Pfizer may also be a problem (a Trump presidency means lower taxes and regulatory neglect). Some MSM may not feel any obligation to educate readers or create honest and thorough reports which anger some rich folks and create opportunities for lawyers. Does this extend to NYT and WaPo? Some of their reporting is very good, but then what Reich says is also true.
