Column: Why the American media and their critics won't stop telling the same lie

As public opinion of Donald Trump, climate change and more show, the press is not as important as journalists and their detractors claim, especially now.
The article by David Zurawik, published on MSN, discusses the persistent narrative in American media that it is biased towards the left, a claim he labels as a "lie." Zurawik argues that this accusation has been used by conservative critics for decades to discredit media outlets, particularly since the 1960s when media began to challenge the status quo more openly. He points out that this narrative has been perpetuated by figures like Richard Nixon, who accused the media of bias during the Watergate scandal, and has continued through various administrations. Zurawik highlights that this criticism often comes from those who feel threatened by journalism that holds power accountable, suggesting that the real issue is not media bias but rather the media's role in scrutinizing those in power. He also notes that this ongoing critique has led to a significant portion of the public distrusting the media, which in turn affects the democratic process by undermining the credibility of factual reporting.
