No, with this note. The "entertainment" cloistering was an effort to say this is different, needs to be covered differently.

Do you still think it was a good idea, you know, considering?

It's easy to talk on panels about doing media differently. On a day-to-day basis, there are limited options....
-
That was a way to scream, daily, that this was not normal, this man is a fraud, do not give him wall to wall coverage as if he's serious...

We hoped the rest of the media would follow. They didn't. I don't regret trying.

The site had good coverage, especially by
@LEBassett. But calling it entertainment seemed misguided at the time and painfully wrong now. -
Why do you think CNN had him on all day?? The media made trump. They didn't have to. We said ignore him. He should have been relegated.

Or he should have been taken seriously as a threat to our democracy and human decency. Not mere entertainment.

When it was clear the media was not following our lead in relegating him to the side, we moved him to pol and appended our editor's note.

It failed. He was DEADLY serious. An existential threat, in fact. And America is short on nuance.
