Oy.

Via Victor Shi:

Holy shit. Univision, the nation's largest Spanish-language network, has decided to cancel ad-buys by the #Biden campaign in Nevada, Arizona, Pennsylvania, & Florida after #Trump met with their executives last week. Our media continues to fail us. This is how our democracy dies.

Univision, the Spanish-language news giant, shifts its approach to Trump

The presence of corporate executives at Mar a Lago raises alarm among Democrats who are used to Latino media criticism of the former president’s policies.

@GottaLaff wut? While it seems doubtful this is unlawful, it does seem like a shift in the Overton window no?

When has one campaign talked a business out of doing business with the other campaign? Just me or does this seem like a new paradigm

Edit: sry if this comes across wrong, it's just truly flummoxing my grey matter

If this is the attitude of journalists we’re fucked.

@freeformz @GottaLaff @pixelpusher220 The job of a journalist has always been to report news-worthy happenings, never to form public opinion. That’s called editorializing and “reporting” today is about that. This is why I pay little attention to news outlets anymore. In fact, I can’t stand them. But I do look for news-worthiness periodically, and, to a lesser degree, I find something every now and again.
