The idea that documenting Trump’s conflicts will cause voters to turn against him? It runs contrary to history: http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2016/11/donald-trumps-case-for-honest-graft/508706/ …pic.twitter.com/C2sLUIjNBP
Not sure how to argue these things from counterfactuals. Who knows what would happen? Very very close election.
Also, electorate not just Trump supporters. Reluctant Clintoner, non-voters, Bernie sympathizers. Stein voters...
True! I was making a prospective claim—that the widespread media presumption that such conflicts are self-evidently…
…problematic may not be shared by many voters, who both assume this sort of behavior is endemic, and are inclined…
…to overlook such behavior, or even to applaud it, when they think it reinforces incentives to serve their interests.
That doesn’t reduce the responsibility to document them. But it’s one more case in which basic premises aren’t shared.
No, I totally understand that. But journalists/media who failed before are now looking for this very excuse.
Yesterday, NYT reporters kept telling me "it wouldn't chance the outcome" to my objection to lack of coverage.
They can't know that. Also not the point. History is interesting & illuminating but is it a manual for the future.
