      I genuinely don't understand the media hunger for a Trump pivot to moderation. Why is there a desire for this?

      because they want a close race for narrative tension's sake?

      Sure, but Trump running the craziest campaign in American history also creates narrative tension even without a horse race

          The inability to portray both sides as being equally bad tears the fabric of the space time continuum.

          The tension tends to dissipate after day-after-day crazy headlines. New: Sanity makes a cameo!

          a dynamic narrative arc always more compelling...

          pivot = boring and it's not like he would even win. Staying crazy is a better entertainment at the end of the day

          I think it's less the horse-race aspect, more that it gives cover to play "both sides" balance game = comfortable

          They're enabling a fascist. History will not look kindly on them. NBC News, WaPo reporters for starters.

          But then they'd have to acknowledge reality of GOP off the rails, upset their owners, sponsors & personal bottom line
