Not much different here in that regard. Ideas are great when one side has them, and the other side cries foul. 4-8-12 years later the shoe is on the other foot.We have the same thing in the UK, but different. It's been noticed that some of the tory policies in their manifesto are exactly the same as labour policies that appeared in their manifesto a few years ago. at the time, the predominately right-wing press raged at the madness of the suggestions (such as an energy price cap). Now, when the right produces the exact same policy, apparently it's a really good idea ...
Primarily New York City (which should explain a lot). There are bureaus in all the large cities, most notably Washington DC, Chicago and Los Angeles. But it is primarily filtered through NYC.Where are there 'centres' of journalism in the US, if indeed there are?
See above. Basically the same thing.UK journalism is almost totally London-centric. It's the voice of the metropolis, and those journalists who do wander abroad discover that the rest of the country thinks London is living on a different planet. One reason why the press was so poor at registering the mood of the country prior to the Brexit vote, because they don't listen outside of their closed circles ... they exist in a kind of isolation and follow social media which of course moves so fast they can never hope to keep up with anything more than the banal.
Tables were already obvious prior to the election. It seemed to grow worse over time under Obama. There are a number of "conspiracy" theories out there as to why (George Soros), but it really was self evident to anyone with a critical mind. When you see a local story misreported once, it is an accident. When local stories get misreported routinely, it becomes a pattern of deception. Orwell's 1984 is alive and well, and the Ministry of Propaganda is doing it's part to shape and mold the minds of the people into subservient unquestioning automatons.I only ask because from here it seems the US press missed the voice of those who voted for Trump? And now he's turning the tables on them, setting up a mistrust in journalism that will take a long time to put right, because in many ways that mistrust is well-founded, in that journalists have lost touch?
