Police and health care workers, who were deemed heroes last year for working through the pandemic, now face being fired from their job if they don’t get vaccinated against COVID-19. Why are corporate media not giving them any gratitude, but instead “sneering or even rage?” According to Batya Ungar-Sargon, that’s because the mainstream media has abandoned the American working class and catered only to the liberal, highly educated elite.
Ungar-Sargon is a deputy opinion editor of Newsweek. She calls herself a lefty and a liberal. Last month, her new book “Bad News: How Woke Media Is Undermining Democracy” was published.
