From the left: Time for Some Media Self-Examination

For “those of us who have long argued that the legal authority supported Trump,” this week’s Supreme Court order “was belated but not surprising,” says Jonathan Turley at The Hill. So now there’s a respite until October, when the justices will hear the full case, allowing “some time for self-examination.” Because “the analysis surrounding the immigration order seemed to drop any pretense of objectivity and took on the character of open Trump-bashing.” Ironically, Trump’s “signature attacks often cause people to fulfill the very stereotypes that he paints, particularly among some reporters and judges.” Indeed, “he seems like the itch that reporters and commentators just have to scratch and frankly sometimes it seems like a few are enjoying it too much.” Which means viewers “are being given a false notion of the underlying legal issues,” with their “subtle distinctions and balancing tests.”
