This is its own kind of disinformation. Not the statements about them, but the events themselves are false. Also called the propaganda of the deed, as against the word.

This isn’t a crit of the Times because this IS what Trump claims. But it’s worth slowing down and absorbing just how absurd this claim is, not so much as a matter of power as simple logic. We’re supposed to believe that it made sense that any document, including the most …

OK, Secret Service phones were wiped. So were those of Homeland Security. Now reportedly the same with the Pentagon. Anyone want to explain what was going on here?

I repeat: the only people who were fully prepared to cover the Trump presidency properly were people who knew how authoritarian regimes worked. The Washington press corps, which treats politics as something between a baseball game and a Broadway show, was woefully unprepared.

A standard for politics coverage has started to emerge among a handful of journalists, columnists and critics. Newsrooms should ask themselves: are we doing everything we can to make sure that Americans understand the stakes in the 2022 and 2024 elections? We need that to spread.

Read @sarahposner's thread on candidates who embrace the stolen election lie and endorse subverting the will of voters. As they get closer and closer to winning office, the press has to figure out how to make the stakes clear.

1) Let me tell you a crazy story. It's consumed 2 years of my life. As COVID-19 shut down the world in April 2020, I decided to follow the money. I began with a call to a no-name federal contractor who’d somehow landed a $35M deal for masks. Hours later, I’m on a private jet …

It’s wild to me that one political party has all but abandoned democracy and been overtaken by wild conspiracy theories and the media is still covering the fall midterm elections like, “LOL. The GOP will win in a landslide because gas prices are up and there are CRT kids books.”

I can’t get this tweet out of my head. Literally every media outlet is calling them “restrictions” when they should be calling them “protections” and that choice is absolutely killing people.

"Any hope that our country’s elite political journalists might heed the increasingly clamorous calls from former colleagues and media critics to adopt a pro-democracy approach to their coverage pretty much died this week," writes @froomkin. presswatchers.org/2022/01/by-the…

In the heart of Delhi, raising Nazi-style salutes, hundreds vow: “We all pledge, that until our last breath, we will make India a Hindu nation. We will fight and die and, if required, kill.” Fascism is risen in India, and the world turns blind eyes. twitter.com/ShyamMeeraSing…

Dan ⁦@froomkin⁩ has been rewriting news stories from Washington that demonstrate all the bad habits of the political press. The rewrites can be quite instructive. presswatchers.org/2021/10/arsoni…

Awful new poll findings: * 76% of those who trust Fox News or other right wing media believe 2020 was stolen * Only 12% of those who trust those right wing media sources blame 1/6 on Trump. 64% blame leftists Right wing media is helping wreck democracy: washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/…

Two Harvard professors who spent more than twenty years studying the breakdown of democracies in Europe and Latin America conclude that "the bulk of the Republican Party is behaving in an antidemocratic manner." Their latest warning in the @TheAtlantic. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

We live in a two-party system. One of the two is anti-democratic. The other is not sure that's a problem.
