Trump wages war on 'dishonest' media 'but will now meet NY Times'
The article discuses how president elect Donald Trump is being put in a worse image than he already is by the New York Times, where he accused the news company of giving him "unfair" media coverage. Throughout his campaign to consult this issue, Mr Trump accused the media of dishonesty, sometimes targeting individual journalists at his rallies and even denying some outlets accreditation to his events.
He feuded with Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly, who later alleged that he had offered her gifts, including hotel stays, in an attempt to influence coverage. In short, this just emphasizes the extent to how much power the media has.
As said before, the media has a huge hegemonic influence on how the audience views a certain figure or event, and this is most affecting people in politics or in an important 'hard news' field like Donald Trump. The fact that Donald Trump is trying to bribe his way into making his image positive says enough about the influence the media has.
