David Brooks from The Atlantic made significant comments during his appearance on PBS NewsHour on September 25, 2023, regarding the relationship between mainstream media and the Democratic Party.
Brooks criticized President Donald Trump for restricting access to some media outlets, noting this occurred during a time of important events, like the United Nations meeting.
He acknowledged that since 2015, the mainstream media realized that criticizing Trump increases clicks and ratings, turning it into their business model.
Brooks pointed out that there has been a troubling closeness between journalists and Democratic politicians during social events over the past two years, suggesting a need for journalists to maintain a distance from those they cover.
He implied that this cozy relationship has undermined journalistic integrity, comparing the treatment of Democrats versus Republicans.
Brooks recognized this issue but downplayed its duration, suggesting it has only been prominent for two years, when many believe it has been a long-standing problem.
He stated that journalists should not act as advocates for any political party, a sentiment that reflects a broader distrust among the public toward the media.
Brooks’ admission highlights a long-standing issue in media behavior, emphasizing the need for reporters to uphold their objectivity and restore public trust.
