Journalists shouldn't cover Trump with the mixture of rage and resistance that defined their reporting the first time around, writes DePauw University communication professor Jeffrey McCall. Instead, they need to reinvent their Trump coverage. |
The establishment media is increasingly "detached from a broad swath of American news consumers," writes McCall. Consequently, fewer Americans trust the media to tell them the truth. Everyone knows that Trump is erratic and bombastic, so there's no need to dwell on that. Instead, says McCall, the media should focus on "actual results (or lack thereof) for matters that mean the most to Americans." "It is time for the news producers and editors to move on to whether Trump can deliver results for the citizenry on things like border security, the cost of groceries and gas, and international threats. That can be accomplished with accuracy and fairness, and without drama and activism." The news industry doesn't need to make nice with Trump, says McCall. But with media credibility at an all-time low, "measured, audience-focused coverage could help reestablish the news industry's place in the American public sphere." Read the op-ed at TheHill.com. |

Op-eds exploring key issues affecting the U.S. and world: |

By François Legault, premier of Quebec |
Like the president-elect, I come from the business world. I understand his desire to build a balance of power and make the United States richer. We both share the desire to increase border security and to control immigration, and Quebec has been calling on the Canadian government to do it for several years. |

By Mick Mulvaney, former White House chief of staff |
You may have heard that President Biden and his team have been focused during their last days in office on building his "legacy." That word used to mean using the last days in office to cement an administration's successes, while maybe adding a bow on top with a few small extras that people like. Today, it is code for having the left inflict upon us all the really radical stuff that voters just rejected. |

By Saralyn Mark, former senior medical adviser to the White House |
A colleague sent me a link to an article that featured me as a subject matter expert on space medicine. My titles at NASA and at several academic institutions as well as quotes were highlighted throughout this article. And it was all fake. |

By Dov Zakheim, former undersecretary of Defense |
If Washington chooses to invade Greenland, its heretofore NATO allies could band together to assist Greenland; indeed, the U.S. Congress could, improbably, vote to act on Article Five, thereby committing America to defend Greenland against its own invading forces! |
