After President Trump claimed last month that mail-in ballots will
lead to a "rigged" election, journalism professor and media critic
Jay Rosen wrote that the president now posed "an active threat to
American democracy". But the media, he says, is still failing to
convey the urgency of that threat. Instead, reporters too often
amplify the president's dubious claims and normalize his conduct.
Rosen joins Forum to lay out the shortcomings of traditional
campaign coverage in the Trump era, and how news outlets should
respond.
