How the media mistakes a slogan for a story
CNN
Infrastructure week is a "cheeky" slogan, but the real story is what the infrastructure funding in the "Build Back Better" bill will accomplish, CNN chief media correspondent Brian Stelter said on "Reliable Sources" Sunday. And it's the media's responsibility to report the story, not just repeat catch-all slogans.
Critical Race Theory is another example of a concept that's become a rallying cry.
"The activists who tried to make critical race theory from a national story into a national slogan," Stelter said. "They knew what they were doing. They were trying to create a boogeyman and it worked."
