The hyperbole, the exaggeration, the crying wolf in some cases - it's undermining the legitimate and necessary coverage. And it brings us to this moment that can feel like our media is operating in an alternate universe.

@FourthWatch I introduce in @FourthWatch Trump and the Temperature Test.

@FourthWatch @WesleyLowery I emailed last week with @WesleyLowery on the state of the media in 2020, how they cover race, objectivity vs. “moral clarity,” the problems with Twitter and a lot more - and then published it in full as a @FourthWatch #BCCInterview.

@FourthWatch @WesleyLowery "A lot of the things we spend a lot of time focused on (the Harper’s letter, Alan Dershowitz’s comings and goings, the President’s latest mean tweet about a cable news anchor) feel divorced from the priorities of normal people.”
