8:10Now PlayingIs the media unfairly focusing on Hilary’s emails? Cenk Uygur, John Iadarola, and Michael Shure, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“On Saturday, a lead headline in the New York Times announced, “Clinton Team Steels Against Email Fallout.” With FBI Director James B. Comey’s letter the previous day announcing the discovery of a new trove of emails linked to Hillary Clinton’s private server, a potential “October surprise” had finally arrived.
Yet it shouldn’t have been a “surprise” at all. Why not? The answer, somewhat ironically, appeared in a Washington Post headline the next day: “FBI email probe has upended the ‘Clinton is coasting to victory’ media narrative.”
The media’s urgency to maintain drama in an election that was increasingly looking like a blowout made this story all but inevitable.
By definition, to be “news,” a story must be new. Pursuit of novel stories is thus a core media news value. A dramatic horse race in which the outcome is uncertain and continually fluctuating is perpetually novel. Additional stories about the candidates’ long-standing policy positions? Not so much.”
