That's interesting. But what's his position on paper straws?

This is one of the better treatments of Trump's latest threats. Rather than quoting the whole Tweet in a block, as NYT and NBC did, it broke it up, interspersing it with explanations about how Trump always does this. edition.cnn.com/2024/09/08/pol…

Memo to the moderators on Tuesday: The quest for balance is a trap. Treating rival assertions in a debate as equal when one is demonstrably false is not fairness but malpractice. There aren't two sides to a lie. Lies are never acceptable and must always be corrected.

Imagine obsessing over polls in the 1933 German election without covering Mein Kampf. That is what is going on now.

Harris has an extensive issue page up now, but don't worry about reading it, it will surely generate a huge amount of coverage from the reporters who claimed that its absence was a big deal kamalaharris.com/issues/

Kamala Harris' policies have now been published, which means the national press won't spend any time covering this. kamalaharris.com/issues/

A presidential candidate saying he wants to jail his opponents if elected is the kind of thing that would have been "Breaking News" on TV stations, interrupting regular programming, back before authoritarianism was normalized.

Showing better news judgment than The Times or Post, Morning Joe leads with the Cheneys' endorsements of Harris & Trump's threats of jailing political opponents in the election. Joe Scarborough Mika Brzezinski

Can someone explain to me why this is not on the front page of every newspaper?

Pre-debate fact check: when Donald Trump and/or the ABC moderators say Kamala Harris wants “price controls,” you’ll know they’re wrong/lying/speaking from ignorance, as ⁦Zephyr Teachout⁩ explains ⁦Washington Monthly⁩ washingtonmonthly.com/2024/09/09/sto…

Okay, this is a good headline. Why is this so rare?

The shame of AG Sulzberger. Not a syllable on this page about Trump's threat to incarcerate political opponents. Not one.

The U.S. is building factories at an incredible fast race, because of Biden administration policies. (Construction stagnated under Donald Trump.) This is a great story that is not nearly as well known as it should be.

The question is how millions of Americans could vote for a person who tried to subvert our democracy. And it's the news media's responsibility to consistently point that out. ps://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/09/08/harris-trump-differences-character-crime/

"I am a little discouraged at how the mainstream media is covering the race. What [Trump] said over the weekend deserves a headline this morning. It would get a headline if Kamala said stuff like that." — Claire McCaskill on Trump's vow to jail those who 'cheat' in the election

I'm telling you, Trump will spend the entire debate lying with impunity and the media will say he "won" if he *only* sounds moderately, as opposed to completely unhinged, but if Harris so much as mispronounces a word, they are going to come down on her like a freaking avalanche

This is why the straw man argument from AG Sulzberger that the Times isn't supposed to choose sides is so stupid. No one is asking him to be a Harris cheerleader, but ignoring (or downplaying) Trump's open threats to democracy is a journalistic failure of the first order.

I told Foreign Policy that on many issues Trump refuses to say what he'd like to do, perhaps because he himself does not know. foreignpolicy.com/2024/09/09/202…

Framing decisions, Sep 9 2024: Divisive. Politically charged. Unsubstantiated. Placing blame. As opposed to, "False." Or even "Groundless." "Inflammatory but widely disputed." Etc.
