I've decided to extend my reporting trip nationwide because there's such a massive, gaping disparity between how the US media has covered recent events and how normal people are processing them, and I have zero faith that anyone else is going to properly elucidate this disparity

With the support of all you fine benefactors, I can't be "canceled," despite the best efforts of people like Nikole Hannah-Jones and others. That's what herd-minded media elites hate the most: when they can't exert power and control over those who challenge their orthodoxies

Why is the national media hardly covering this? (See thread.) There are a variety of potential explanations. All I know is the disparity between elite opinion and normal person opinion right now may even dwarf 2016, and I didn’t think that was possible. Hence, I need your supporthttps://twitter.com/mtracey/status/1277339435257024516 …

Thank you very much to everyone who contributed today. Can't thank all of you individually. Will put it to good use! (Your kind-hearted generosity also enables me not to have to do these semi-annoying solicitations too often)

I've gotten literally hundreds of tweets and emails from people who are shocked that they haven't seen any of these images/stories anywhere else. Forget ideological considerations: just from a pure journalistic perspective, it's obviously hugely significant. Media malpracticehttps://twitter.com/mtracey/status/1277339435257024516 …
