Which lesson does Bruni refer to? That the media need to return to their disinterested objectivity in election coverage? Far from it.
Had the news media not given Trump wall-to-wall coverage in the early phases of the campaign, he likely would have been the Wesley Clark or the Herman Cain of the 2016 cycle - an early flavor-of-the-week candidate who quickly faded once the primaries began.
Like most in-the-know kingmakers on the right, the left and the media believed that Trump was fundamentally unable to win the presidency.
The legacy media set to work ensuring that Trump was the Republican nominee.
By the time of his nomination, the legacy media had built Trump a movement.
The true history that I have outlined above is the real source of the media establishment's incendiary rage against Trump.
Thomas Patterson of Harvard's Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics and Public Policy has been analyzing that coverage since Trump declared his candidacy for the presidency in 2015.
