When conservatives hear the term “independent political journalism,” they might think of people who are politically independent between the parties, or unaffiliated with establishment media outlets. But to liberals, “independent journalism” seems to be defined as “reliably anti-Trump/anti-Republican.” Poynter announced that at this "salon," Todd and Poynter official Neil Brown will discuss “the future of political journalism, rebuilding public trust in news, the rise of independent media and what it takes for journalism to remain relevant in an increasingly fragmented and polarized information environment.” The Poynter Institute is the parent organization of the deeply biased website PolitiFact, which calls itself "independent." Naturally, Chuck Todd has a glowing rating at PolitiFact, with seven "True" or "Mostly True" ratings, and one solitary "False."
