Julian Zelizer : Mainstream media ignored Donald Trump's wild utterances during US presidential campaign.

He says it normalized and “sanewashed’s wild utterance even as it reported every minor slip by Joe Biden .

Zelizer says mainstream media doesn't use the term oligarchy’ to describe billionaires who are using wealth to enlarge their political power.

The public doesn’t know what stories have been censored, muted, judged out of bounds, or preemptively not covered by journalists who’d rather not take the risk.

The Guardian remains a reliable and trustworthy source of news because it is truly independent.

Unlike other US media organizations, the Guardian cannot be co-opted by the growing alliances of oligarchs and authoritarians.
