There is also the question of how we perceive "The news"; how established media institutions present and frame information; how we are supposed to respond to the "Takes" purportedly expert and knowledgeable voices serve up to us by the second on social media.
We were told that Michael Avenatti, a trial attorney who appeared seemingly out of nowhere to represent Stephanie Clifford, aka "Stormy Daniels," in her defamation suit against Donald Trump, was a defender of the rule of law and election integrity who posed, in the words of Stephen Colbert, an "Existential threat" to the Trump presidency.
Avenatti appeared incessantly on cable news, earning the equivalent of $175 million in media exposure between March and May 2018.
Last September, an article in Politico Magazine carried the headline, "Michael Avenatti Is Winning the 2020 Democratic Primary." When Avenatti said he represented a client who had been a victim of gang rapes and druggings at parties attended by Brett Kavanaugh during high school, NBC News interviewed the client despite being unable to verify her accusation.
What media authorities had presented as true-that Avenatti was a serious attorney whose evidence would destroy the Trump presidency-has been revealed, once again, as utterly fallacious, a con.
It's up to the jury to decide if Michael Avenatti is a criminal.
The Sentinels who protect the liberal media matrix are vigilant against thoughtcrime, they anathematize dissent, but they are less interested in the canons of professional journalism, such as presenting both sides of a story and refraining from baseless speculation.
