When you move beyond the flap of the moment—a CNN correspondent repeatedly interrupting the president-elect, Buzzfeed irresponsibly publishing unproven rumors—the news business is facing a moment of truth. Can people trust the media to provide a basic set of facts? And this goes beyond the substantial question of whether the same journalists who botched the election can cover Donald Trump fairly. In fairness, several other news outlets, including the New York Times, Washington Post and Fox, had that material and chose not to publish the uncorroborated insinuations, and CNN withheld the salacious details). Trump openly warred with National Review, the Weekly Standard and, at times, Fox News, all of which had commentators that denigrated him, while favoring newer voices in talk radio and websites like Breitbart.
