Video: Soledad O’Brien Calls Out the Media for Normalizing Trump’s White Supremacist Ties
Soledad O’Brien has been missed, and in this segment of Brian Stelter’s Reliable Sources CNN show, she lays down some serious truth about the media’s “normalization” of the awful racist components of the Donald Trump campaign, calling out the “contortions” that create a deceptive “both sides are equal” narrative.
CNN has been one of the main purveyors of this false equivalence, and it’s good to see at least a small attempt at real balance for a change. But the fact is, most of CNN’s day-to-day coverage remains disturbingly empty of this context.
