Media companies USA Today and McClatchy have both laid off journalists in the past week, and hundreds of reporters already lost their jobs this year. For his blog, Morning Brew founder Josh Sternberg writes about how the crumbling of the media affects democracy. "We see the erosion of trust of the institution [of the press], while at the same time we have an authoritarian in the White House, a Supreme Court majority that lives by the “rules for thee, but not for me” philosophy, and Congress that is so neutered that its protagonist disappears (Where is Mitch, by the way?) and no one bats an eye."
