An excellent dissection of the unique challenge Donald Trump poses for journalism, and how most media organisations are repeating their mistakes from 2016. A recording of a lecture given by Nick Bryant, former BBC US correspondent. One key quote: «In trying to be normal ourselves, we normalised him.»

From Weekly Filet #489, in May 2024.
