I don’t know. Sounds like victory has a lot of mothers. I’m glad progressives decided to vote Biden. I’m glad Lincoln project focused on Republicans who might switch to Biden. Kudos to Cindy McCain in Arizona. Doesn’t mean young Latinx people in AZ didn’t help pull out a big win.

Obviously Stacey Abrams moved mountains. She, in turned thanked the voting advocates who she thought made a difference. Black voters showed up AGAIN—inspite of all efforts to disenfranchise them. But whoo Native Americans in AZ—deserve big kudos! Bloomberg gave money to Stacey A.

Bloomberg’s own candidacy failed—but he invested his $$ in other candidates. I was not a Bernie fan, as you know, but he threw his support to Biden—and young people (how many?) tuened out. So nah: lots of credit all around. Exit polls are notoriously bad—but I’m looking fwd to #s

This is reallly good and thoughtful from @JamesFallows about media fails in the age of Trump. He highlights the very good voices that point out journalistic errors constantly. But—he fails to name names when it comes to the errors and I think that’s a mistake.

The same reporters do this again and again. Name them. Point out their failures and shame them into being better. Nothing else seems to work. I am not a media analyst. I’m just a person who’s been doing this a long time. These are not accidental slips. 2)

And these mistakes don’t matter much to the cocktail party set. But they matter to people of color who over index in covid deaths and police brutality and educational inequities. It’s a weird thing when you realize your reporter-colleagues are in it for a book. Or tv facetime. 3)
