The media is better than it used to be (though not perfect) at avoiding both-sidesism. What we haven't caught up to is that negative coverage can actually strengthen populist demagogues, so long as it lets them control the conversation.

I don't want to be flip. This is an *extremely* hard problem to solve, particularly when the president is one of those demagogues. This piece, relying on
@wphillips49,@jayrosen_nyu, and others is an effort to work through some of the issues:https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2019/8/2/20702029/donald-trump-racism-squad-tweets-media-2020 …Prikaži ovu nit -
You can't just ignore politicians who lie as a matter of course,. The fact that the president lies so much is newsworthy. But if you cover the liars so much that they crowd out everyone else, you effectively give them control of the conversation.

It's no coincidence that Trump and Boris Johnson are in power at the same time. They both understand how to use lies, offense, and outrageousness to control the conversation. That gets them power, which makes their lies, etc, more newsworthy, which gives them yet more control.

Speak of them as they are... a group of highly coordinated Koch RW ppl engaged in an internal attack on our gov. All we’re experiencing now is intentional.pic.twitter.com/tcVtZY9Ddq

Most press knows of the Koch RW stealth plan, that the WH staff, Cabinet, most Agencies & GOP members are Koch ppl. Why isn’t this upfront... every day!

If you have the power to write headlines, then write a headline which succinctly describes the matter and informs the reader of the most fundamental truth of the story. Readers skim headlines for news because we don’t have time to read 1000s of articles every day.

Do not write a headline which simply regurgitates a lie. Do not write a headline which asks a question without answering that question in the same headline.

It’s what journalists of color and conscience have been saying for years now. But we have been dismissed.
