      8/ Hard to overstate how seductive "just do your job" is. It combines the myth of taciturn manliness (Gary Cooper) with the appeal of the humble public servant (I'm no hero, ma'am, just doin' my job.) Very difficult to argue against that. Again: "We’re not at war; we’re at work."

      9/ The problem, of course, is that there is war on the press being conducted by the president of the United States and his supporters. To say otherwise would violate a different commandment. Yes, it's imperative to keep your cool. It is equally imperative to state what is true.

      10/ "We’re not at war; we’re at work" is genius. But its genius is incomplete. It doesn't speak to the problem @Acosta was getting at. If the press is the enemy, that crashes the whole premise of the White House press corps: that we're all trying to inform the American public.

      11/ "We’re not at war; we’re at work" wants you to calm down. And when you have to get a story done, or ask a question under the lights, that is good advice. But its emotional intelligence — which is real — has limits, as well. No one in journalism is eager to speak about those.

      12/ So I will. There is alive in the United States a campaign to discredit the American press and turn as many people as possible against it. It is led from the top. This campaign is succeeding. Before journalists log on in the morning, about 30% of their public is already gone.

      13/ It is not easy to know what to do under these conditions. I certainly don't. But to say "we’re not at war; we’re at work" does not speak to the enormity of the problem. Somehow the press has to figure out how to fight back. Making fun of Acosta's emotional plea isn't helping.

      14/ Here's the way I put it in @nybooks. "I think our top journalists are correct that if they become the political opposition to Trump, they will lose. And yet, they have to go to war against a political style in which power gets to write its own story."https://www.nybooks.com/daily/2018/04/25/why-trump-is-winning-and-the-press-is-losing/ …

      15/ So what happens if the 30 percent that rejects the mainstream press on principle becomes 40, or 45 because the campaign to discredit the institution is succeeding? Will "we’re not at war; we’re at work" remain as persuasive as it is today? Will it still be drop dead wisdom?

      16/ Despite what I have said in challenge to it, I think "we’re not at war; we’re at work" conveys an important truth. Don't play his game. Don't get sucked into a tit for tat. Don't get distracted from your task. These are vital reminders. They make sense. They steady the ship.

      17/ Finally... In the degree that "we’re not at war; we’re at work" synchs up with the emotional style preferred within the American newsroom, there is a risk that the wisdom captured in Baron's remark will be over-valued by that room's inhabitants. I write to warn you of that.

      I keep asking a version of this Q, including to Baron: If one side is at "war" and the other side is a pacifist, doesn't the pacifist lose?

          Gandhi and Martin Luther King might suggest the answer is no. There are different forms of force.

          I don't see anything beating "we’re not at war; we’re at work" in the minds of American journalists responsible for political coverage. That is where they are, and that is where they are going to remain.

          Jay, Much of what you say seems right to me, especially about what the President is doing. But you can’t beat something (Marty’s formulation) with nothing, so the search for a perhaps necessary gloss on this continues.

          Thanks, Dick. I will keep at it. But as I said, "we’re not at war; we’re at work" is where newsroom opinion rests and I do not see that changing. It is perfectly calibrated.

          Jay - @zephoria's "The Messy Fourth Estate" from June showed up on my feed yesterday that goes at this (e.g., "your worldview is being weaponized") but also has a critique embedded in it - and suggests some ways out of the box.

          "Media editors, journalists, and managers don’t want to be at war. Almost no one wants to be. Yet if you are at war, and you deny its reality, you can’t protect yourself.

          Millions of Jews wrestled with that exact same question of how to oppose Hitler during the Nazi-era, and the pacifists are mostly gone. Please visit the @HolocaustMuseum (if you haven't already), read the news headlines where the Nazis attacked Germany's free press, then reply.

          Gandhi (a pacifist) WON, but not just b/c he said British rule must stop. He also pointed to a new & better way things could be.

          Seems like Popper's Paradox of tolerance would apply here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance … The press' tolerance for opposing points of view holds, as long as the opposing view is not anti-free press. A free press cannot condone an anti-free press viewpoint sustainably.
