    With a new book out about Joe Biden’s failed re-election campaign, a media reckoning is in full swing. It goes something like this: mainstream journalism failed the voters.

    It was entirely predictable that President Trump would go after public media in America. Harming the reality-based press – in every form, whether public or private – is a central part of his playbook for controlling the political narrative as he moves the country toward an authoritarian model of government.
