Chapter and verse of Big Journalism's epic failures in the Trump era -- and what's most disheartening is that our top "news" organizations have made it plain they have zero interest in even admitting, much less repairing, the damage they have caused to our nation.

@dangillmor this is all true. But honestly it's the Nazis fault they are Nazis.
@dangillmor where does this malpractice tend to happen? Is it that it doesn’t occur to the reporters to go after it? That the higher ups won’t print it? I have a hard time believing that in every large org, there isn’t at least one young guy who literally goes “ceterum censeo” about this kind of thing in every meeting.
@j12t Clearly it's the higher-ups ordering the shitty coverage.
Sir, respectfully, you are old enough to remember the equal time rule. You do realize that the #USCongress abolished it after the #SupremeCourt uphelt it? My generation grew up without equal time because of corporate media who wanted this landscape. 
Perhaps a rule requiring corporate outlets to have different political factions get equal prompting in front of users' eyes, so that #YouTube has to allow a #TownSquare and a #MarketplaceOfIdeas ? I want my generation to have their voices heard. 
@VictimOfSimony The FCC revoked it, not Congress, which tried to reinstate but was overruled by a veto (Reagan).
No longer enforceable in any case given the millions of publications/channels.
You only have to enforce the top few sites. 
@VictimOfSimony What's the cut-off?
"As budgetary constraints allow."
