Media Bias and Identity Politics Coverage in Mainstream Media

The chapter examines media bias and identity politics coverage in mainstream media, contrasting traditional political journalism's objectivity with perceived left-wing bias. Critiques of NPR's focus on race and identity as totalizing lenses for global events are explored, along with discussions on conservative journalism, Trump apologism, and the threats perceived by different media outlets. The chapter delves into power dynamics in the government, mainstream media's portrayal of Trump, and the unique challenges in covering his controversial presidency.
