Robert Reich wrote an article recently explaining the seven techniques that Donald Trump is using to undermine not only the media, but government itself.
“In many ways Donald Trump seems to be indifferent, at best, to the democratic process,” he said.
Goodman and Reich spoke to the ways that Trump has targeted the media, namely referring back to recent a post of Reich’s about the ways tyrants aim to crumble democracy by delegitimizing and taking power away from the free press.
Reich listed the seven techniques that Trump has already employed to do so, which include the following:
- Berate the media
- Blacklist critical media
- Turn the public against the media
- Condemn satirical or critical comments
- Threaten the media directly
- Limit media access
- Bypass the media and communicate with the public directly
