my latest—the Normalizing Olympics continue; pressrun.media/p/tone-deaf-ho…
If President Barack Obama had overseen the deaths of 100,000 Americans during the Ebola outbreak in 2014, do you think many Beltway journalists would have given him high marks for his "tone"?

Me neither.
“To the surprise of nobody, days after Trump's "serious" briefing, he was back to his usual public antics while ostensibly addressing the national emergency”

My latest—press needs to start tackling disturbing questions; pressrun.media/p/we-still-don…
“It's increasingly not believable for the press to suggest Trump has been distracted or inept during this crisis, in part because of the level of White House uselessness has become so staggering.”
why, why, why?

Trump fires second inspector general in three days. SCOTUS throws out Wisc votes.

Reminder: US media has no experience in covering authoritarian regimes
if these authoritarian moves were happening overseas, US media would identify it *immediately*

but the Republican Party does it and US press pretends it can't figure out what's happening
