    Speaking of the Times, this is a good analysis of why the paper (and other papers) keep stumbling. They have a codified system for covering normal politicians which they've applied to Trump (because coming up with a new set of rules hard to do in real time).https://twitter.com/jayrosen_nyu/status/1159115117327466496 …

        One last thought: my sense is the Washington Post, although it has had missteps, has done a much better job of adapting to Trump era than Times has. I'd be interesting in reading a report on why this is so.

        That seems to be an argument for creating a task force, to include a public editor or something like one, to re-design their approach. Inaction at this point seems either purposeful or over-complacent (kind of like “privilege”).

        This is a gross oversimplification of the problem. The political coverage at the NYT has been bad for decades. Trump has just put a magnifying glass on their political coverage.

        It’s irresponsible- malpractice and laziness. They need to take a breath. Have an all day meeting and get it together. And they need a public editor again!

        They've had 3 years to come up w/ new protocols for trumpism, if you count campaign. It needs to be done already. @jayrosen_nyu

        A hint: stop coverage or minimize it to a post it note buried like a correction: Today the President traveled to El Paso & Dayton FULL STOP.
