'I do think Americans exist in a space where the entertainment value of the news determines what stories will be covered,' Trevor Noah said during a panel at HistoryTalks.
magazine editor Nancy Gibbs debated the role of the media in a lively panel discussion moderated by journalist andThe panel, part of the HISTORYtalks "Leadership and Legacy" event hosted by the History channel at Carnegie Hall in New York Saturday, focused on how social media, cable news, changing business models and President Trump have changed how journalists operate and how consumers get their news.
"You are right when you say there is a level of arrogance to it, but it is about what will affect people versus what will offend people," Noah replied. "I do think Americans exist in a space where the entertainment value of the news determines what stories will be covered." "It became more about the business, and making money," Noah added.
"I think sometimes we have to be careful about listening to what Trump says and not listening to what he means," Noah said. "He will say 'the media,' 'the mainstream media.' What he is talking about is a specific group of people, meaning the liberal elite, he is talking about a specific group, a section of society he is aiming for. Trump loves the media, he will appear on any popular show.
