I just ranted at my darling husband because this morning's @nytimes front page so infuriated me. Twitter's better for that so here goes. 1/13

The headline spans every column so we know it's important. And the writers no doubt think they're countering his message by saying "Baseless Attacks..." but instead they have lost control of the narrative. 2/13pic.twitter.com/tHqWBRa00Q

We know: for YEARS & now almost by the hour Tr*mp has undermined trust in the election (unless, of course, he wins). By repeating this,
@nytimes and other media have now cemented sufficient doubt in the public's mind. Just see the paper's own story on Wall Street's jitters. 3/13Afficher cette discussion -
But just saying "he's wrong" doesn't counter the narrative because it's inside the narrative. (How does
@nytimes not know this, my darling husband asks. I don't know, I say.@jayrosen_nyu has been telling them for years.) 4/13Afficher cette discussion -
The media lost the real election story: The longstanding problem in U.S. elections is the large part of the electorate who does not vote. Compare us to any other country. Compare any year. It's appalling. Where are those stories
@nytimes? 5/13Afficher cette discussion -
When the real problems are voter apathy & voter suppression, shouldn't we have had tons of reporting on that? What about the stories on all the groups that have been working diligently to reverse those trends? What are they doing? Is it expected to work? Where is it robust? 6/13

Take the youth vote. It has never reached its potential but could have a huge impact. Will this year be different?
@davidhogg111 thinks so. Is he right? Where's the big story on the youth vote? 7/13Afficher cette discussion -
What's happening with
@staceyabrams and voting in Georgia and the rest of the South? Voter intimidation is certainly not new there. Where are the big stories on all the voting work being done in the South? 8/13Afficher cette discussion -
Even philanthropy has stepped up.
@LangelothFndn and others are supporting efforts to get out the vote. Where's the story on what philanthropy is doing? 9/13Afficher cette discussion -
What about rural counties--when the (very problematic)
#ElectoralCollege has such an impact on the outcome, shouldn't we be hearing more about that? I shouldn't have to learn about innovative efforts to challenge it from@iamjohnoliver, should I@nytimes? 10/13Afficher cette discussion -
The analogy for election reporting, believe it or not, is violence reporting. When the most unusual and rare form of violence dominates the news it makes it seem like homicide is the norm when in fact, as far as violence goes, it's rare. Important, sure, but rare. 11/13

Election news can't just be Tr*mp's extreme cries. Tell us to the harder but important story about what is really going on with voting in the U.S. Sure there are stories about the tribulations of voting while COVID but also voting while Black and not voting at all. 12/13

Why isn't the president using every power at his disposal to make sure people vote? To make it easier to vote? To be sure voting is safe? Where is that story,
@nytimes? Where is that narrative? You have the ink; use it. I just hope it's not too late. 13/13Afficher cette discussion -
This is getting to it, thanks
@jimrutenberg. We need more and needed it sooner. So many tangents in your article could be explained and explored.https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/30/magazine/trump-voter-fraud.html?action=click&module=Top%20Stories&pgtype=Homepage …Afficher cette discussion
