Democrats *fret*
Democrats *fear*
Democrats *worry*

The press uses those terms much more often when writing about Democrats than Republicans -- even when Dems have $ and polling advantages.

When the NYT eliminated its public editor, it said "our followers on social media and readers have come together to serve as a watchdog, more vigilant than one person could ever be."

They failed to realize how the Times staff would turn on each other.

@Sulliview

Public editors like @Sulliview and Clark Hoyt served as a safety valve, giving staff (& readers) a legitimate resource where they could complaints, and expect a disinterested follow-through. Without the public editor, these staff are more likely to wind up at each other's throats

Also, the idea that random people on Twitter are going to extract accountability from a newsroom -- as Arthur Sulzberger Jr said at the time -- was ludicrous in 2017, and it's more so now.

That’s the president of the United States, stoking “LOCK HER UP!” chants directed at the Michigan governor, who was the target of a kidnapping plot.

If you've lived in the South, you might be familiar with the tone and tenor of how Lindsey Graham refers to his Black opponent, Jaime Harrison.

And this is all because Harrison is insisting that Graham get a COVID test before their next debate.

Also, this isn't a slip of the tongue, or something he said when the thought the mic wasn't on.

It's the first paragraph of a release he put out on Twitter.

"The President of the United States is acting like a drunk driver, and the press needs to cover him that way."

That's the lede. The rest of my @CJR column is here ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Trump, knowing that his close aide (Hope Hicks) had tested positive, got on a chopper and a plane to New Jersey. There, he was unmasked while meeting w/ hundreds of people -- some indoors.
