Except papers endorsed candidates back when trust in media was high, too, so this isn’t really a good explanation of declining trust even if it’s true that most don’t distinguish. But most also don’t read editorials or opinion pages, either.
Dave Wasserman@Redistrict

Ever wonder why so many voters don’t trust plenty of media outlets’ hard reporting as objective/neutral? Perhaps because those outlets’ editorial boards and personalities have literally endorsed candidates, and voters don’t get the distinction.

Today is National Voter Registration Day! Take a few minutes to visit IWillVote.com/Obama and make sure you’re registered and have a plan to vote. Then check in with your friends and family and make sure they’re registered, too. Let’s get it done.

What happens when the "who" in a whodunnit is rich and famous? Liberal Studies Professor @jamespolchin, the author of a new book on a case from the 1920s tabloids, compares the role of class privilege and mass media in true crime stories then and now: nyu.edu/about/news-pub…

@alflorit Glad to see this has returned, of course, and didn't take Reggie Miller, Steve Kerr, or Gary Payton to do so.

This is awesome. At Cal in 85-89, we’d get there 2 hours early to get front or second row seats. Whole student section was packed a full hour before tip. God, that was fun. Forged lifetime friendships there. Hope this comes back for these kid’s sake.

Verbatim from a student: “Line 90 mins b4 the game for student entrance. I’m a junior been to every game since I was a freshman never seen anything anywhere similar to this.” GO BEARS🐻🐻🐻

@alflorit Setting aside "re-elected" dictators and Taylor Swift singles, I'm guessing there aren't many other three three-peats out there.

What a way to end Pac-12 play at Memorial. Two historically tortured programs battling each other and fate. It was exciting in a car accident sort of way. But a win is a win and I wouldn’t have been anywhere else. Go Bears!!

One of the most overlooked parts of the March on Washington, which took place 60 years ago this month, is its radicalism. A new @NYUpress book revisits the life and views of its organizer, socialist Bayard Rustin: nyu.edu/about/news-pub…
