The threats from Donald Trump and his allies are not going to dissipate. Trump is redefining normal news coverage as 'election interference' and 'illegal political activity.' He is telling his fans that the government should intervene and make the parent companies of these outlets 'pay.' He is calling out CEOs by name.
Media owners will face severe scrutiny - both from Trump's camp and pro-democratic forces. Moguls like Lachlan Murdoch do not want to be mentioned in the press, unless it's about charitable giving or canny dealmaking. But the recent controversy involving Univision and its cozy interview with Trump proved that media power structures are not exempt from interrogation.
