Donald Trump has famously labelled most of the mainstream press as both fake news, and the enemy of the people. For years Republicans had decried the problem of media bias as if it is some new phenomenon that began at some point during the Reagan presidency. However, if we are going to have a debate about the polarization of the media, then we need to look at the historical record of the news in the United States, because the landscape today may not be as unnatural as everyone likes to believe.
Join us as we journey through time, uncovering the lessons, parallels, and connections between historical milestones and current events to create a deeper understanding of the compelling stories and issues that shape the news.
