However, other topics largely ignored in previous months became major topics of discussion in the third quarter and run-up to Election Day. In particular, tax and trade policy garnered additional focus as outlets both credulously and critically reported on then-candidate Donald Trump’s tariff proposals. News coverage of unions also spiked during the survey period, largely in response to strikes by unionized hotel workers, Boeing machinists at certain West coast factories, and unionized longshoremen at East coast port facilities.</p> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'core/themes/stable9/templates/views/views-view-field.html.twig' --> Fri, 12/20/2024 - 12:08 Media Matters for America abd4a33a-2cb3-4338-900a-9f60b95420ca <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'views_view_field' --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'core/themes/stable9/templates/views/views-view-field.html.twig' --> Media Matters weekly newsletter, December 20 <!-- END OUTPUT from 'core/themes/stable9/templates/views/views-view-field.html.twig' --> https://www.mediamatters.org/__%3C%21--%20THEME%20DEBUG%20--%3E_%3C%21--%20THEME%20HOOK%3A%20%27views_view_field%27%20--%3E_%3C%21--%20BEGIN%20OUTPUT%20from%20%27core/themes/stable9/templates/views/views-view-field.html.twig%27%20--%3E_/media-matters-weekly-newsletter/media-matters-weekly-newsletter-december-20_%3C%21--%20END%20OUTPUT%20from%20%27core/themes/stable9/templates/views/views-view-field.html.twig%27%20--%3E__ <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'views_view_field' --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'core/themes/stable9/templates/views/views-view-field.html.twig' --> <p>Welcome back to Media Matters’ weekly newsletter.
