Margaret Sullivan writes today about news headlines "that deliver a soft-focus, missing-the-point, safe-as-milk version of national politics." She cites a 2023 piece I wrote when I was just starting my Stop the Presses newsletter, headlined: "The New York Times Has a Serious Headline Problem."

A Nazi owns Twitter, right wing billionaires own the Wall Street Journal and the LA Times, and CBS is run by a right wing nepo baby who just fired one of the network’s biggest stars for criticizing Donald Trump. Here’s why America has a left-wing media bias problem.
