Trump blasts media, Biden, Warren in Pennsylvania

15. The Hill pushes a rightwing agenda.

The Hill hired John Solomon to smear Hillary.
There are great legitimate news outlets out there. The Hill is not one of them, even though some of their line reporters are good journalists— editorial control causes a rightwing bias. Neither is Axios or NYT Politics (sadly. much of the rest of NYT is ok). Bothsideism (aka the savvy style) cripples those two. Also pushing a rightwing agenda are DC Examiner or Epoch Times or the WSJ (again, sadly).

I do agree that the Hill is just center-right on average. In detail: the op-Ed pages use the “Hannity and Colmes” strategy— they have weak token liberals and are dominated by very hard-right conservative crazies. The news pages are actually largely ok, but they do run stories ad headlines that amplify and repeat Trump and other rightwing talking points. And Finkelstein does exert subtle influence even on the reporters. And the Hill did bring in John Solomon, a rightwing shill, from Circa/Sinclair. And Solomon almost single handledly created the Uranium One false Hillary smear, and the timing was such that it looked like he was almost brought in to do so. That was bad. We should shun The Hill.

Read instead:
The Atlantic, the WaPo, The New Yorker, Mother Jones, Pacific Standard (so sad), Crooked Media, Vox, The Daily Beast, Politico, TPM.
Listen to CNN and MSNBC and NPR but realize they are all corporate-influenced for-profit infotainment full of bothsidesism. (Yes NPR too. Sad.)
Listen to good podcasts:
from the New Yorker, Vox, Crooked/Pod Save America, Chris Hayes, etc.
