This is a plea to major news organizations, newspapers and cable television:

TRUMP HAS TURNED TO RACIST SCARE TACTICS TO ROUSE HIS BASE.

STOP COVERING IT.

Did you literally learn NOTHING from the 2016 election?
Remember in 2016 when Hillary's e-mails were the biggest story on Earth (because Trump said they were)?

Remember in 2014 when the story was Obama allowing Ebola into the United States (because Trump said he was)?

How many times are major news orgs going to fall for this?
You know what issue voters DO care about?

Health care.

Republicans are LYING about protections for pre-existing conditions. This lie will affect the health of millions of Americans, many of whom will die without protection.

Imagine if news orgs thought THIS was a major story.
"If Fox News hadn’t existed, the Republican presidential candidate’s share of the 2-party vote would have been 3.59 points lower in 2004 and 6.34 points lower in 2008."

As usual, @mattyglesias is ahead of the curve. vox.com/2018/10/23/180…
