Will Bunch (@willbunch, but he's unfortunately not active here) is probably the best currently working Big Journalism commentator on where we are headed as a nation.

In this must-read piece, he expresses the contempt for his contemporaries -- who are utterly refusing to do their jobs in the face of incipient American fascism -- that they so richly deserve.

Journalism fails miserably at explaining what is really happening to America

Momentous week of GOP debate, Trump's arrest gets "horse race" coverage when the story's not about an election, but authoritarianism.

@dangillmor @willbunch Investigative journalism is a dying art these days. TMZ style reporting, anything that doesn't require more than pushing a button and never leaving the office seems to be the way things are done now.
I look at publications like D.W. from germany and some private citizens for coverage of things i'm interested in.
