As The Economist has noted, “the arsenal of deceit is highly effective at keeping malign leaders in power, which is perhaps why global democracy has been in retreat for the past decade.” That’s why the media needs to call a lie a lie, and not worry if doing so appears partisan, while making clear that Trump’s authoritarian agenda would mark a radical break from America as we know it. This isn’t just another normal presidential race.

@rberger the problem is that the media has spent so many years declaring that things are lies when they were provably true, to the point that people stopped believing the media itself.
It's not about partisan or non-partisan, but about people having lost faith in the media when they noticed they were being gaslit.
