News Media Missing the Story on Trump Appointees

Oliver Darcy: “The news media cannot get itself to plainly describe the extremist nature of Donald Trump’s administration picks to the public.” “The latest example came this weekend, by way of Kash Patel.” “When Trump announced that he intends to nominate Patel to serve as the director of the Federal Bureau of Investigations, the vast majority of news organizations declined to directly convey to readers in headlines and story ledes that the pick is a right-wing conspiracy theorist who has openly vowed to disfigure the law enforcement agency.” “Instead, most newsrooms opted to use the far more muted adjective ‘loyalist’ to describe the appointment of Patel, as if there were any doubt that any of Trump’s picks would be anything but loyalists.”
