Rick Perlstein examines U.S. corporate media’s coverage of the 2024 presidential election campaign, focusing on the false equivalence and “both sides-ism” that permeates reporting on the Trump-GOP threat to the nation’s democratic institutions.
He is a historian of the post-1960s American conservative movement.
Perlstein is also a New York Times best-selling author of books that include The Invisible Bridge: The Fall of Nixon and the Rise of Reagan; Nixonland: The Rise of a President and the Fracturing of America; and Before the Storm: Barry Goldwater and the Unmaking of the American Consensus.
