🚨Attention journalists: Please read this guide on how best to report this week in a way that doesn’t allow Trump to “breed chaos & stoke violence” to steal the election. Please don’t enable him. Thanks. theappeal.org/a-media-guide-…
“It is unlikely we will know the results of the presidential election on election night, and the media should refrain from giving credence to claims of victory when it is still statistically possible, or even likely, that another candidate won.” 
“The media should avoid amplifying fraudulent claims of voter suppression and errors with mail-in ballots to avoid giving credibility to false fears that the election is somehow “rigged.” This likely means refusing to report on these baseless claims.”
“Republicans — and Trump — have stacked the courts in their favor. The media is obligated to give an accurate report on litigation, both on the merits of the claims and the history of the bench.”
“A majority of voters believe that Trump is trying to steal the election, and it is important that the media takes efforts to ensure that they are not complicit.”
“The media should use its influence & editorial discretion to call out efforts to intimidate voters or stymie efforts to vote, discredit the narrative of chaos spread by Trump, and decry any effort to subvert the popular vote.” More: theappeal.org/a-media-guide-…
