Huffington: It's Too Late for Media to Take Trump Seriously
Posted in: Uncategorized
Arianna Huffington, who recently stopped editing the digital news publication that bears her name, said at a panel discussion that it’s too late for the media to course-correct and take Donald Trump’s chances of winning the presidency seriously.
“It’s late, it’s really late. The tumor is all over the body politic,” she said, likening recent tough coverage of Mr. Trump’s campaign to performing chemotherapy after a cancerous tumor has already spread. “The lies have taken root.”
Ms. Huffington spoke Wednesday at the Carnegie-Knight Forum, which was gathered to discuss a multi-part, Shorenstein Center report on media coverage of the election. She said “the media has a huge responsibility for what’s happening in this country right now,” referring to Mr. Trump’s rise and the distinct possibility of his election.
