Summary
Poolhouse reflects on how America’s shift toward populism has reshaped traditionally non-political media sectors, including the celebrity gossip and true crime industrial complexes. He examines how this trend has manifested in coverage of recent events such as the Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni dispute, while also drawing lessons from his own coverage of the D4vd case.
