    While I agree that it's not the job of reporters to wave off stories they don't think voters care about, it's also not the job of reporters to "make them care" about whatever reporters care about. Tell the story. Let them decide what they care about.https://twitter.com/adamdavidson/status/1300065683057901570 …

    Any reporter who thought it was important to point out that most Americans don't know or care about the Hatch Act are in a different profession from the one I've been in. Our core job is to report on things people don't know they should care about. And to make them care.

        Editors have to make decisions about which stories to run and where to place them. Journalists have to make decisions about which things to cover and how to cover them. How can one make those decisions without some determination of what's worth caring about and what isn't?

        Replying to @baseballcrank

        The media *has* to have a strong pro liberal democracy/rule of law bias. On issues that impact rule of law, etc it is the principle educator. If people aren't told to support rule of law by the media, far, far fewer will support rule of law.

        Replying to @districtyoder @baseballcrank

        Look at how Republicans stopped supporting rule of law, as their media (and Trump) abandoned it. Media enforces values, even "rote" media.

        You can't make people do anything, let alone care about something they don't. Sure... editorialize in editorials, but that's all you can do.
