The New York Times can't bring itself to tell the simple truth in its headline -- that Trump is a dire threat to democracy.

Instead, it attributes that obvious fact to an "emerging coalition that views Donald J. Trump’s agenda as a threat to democracy..."

This is a perfect example of Big Journalism's insistent on business as usual in the face of an emergency.

Just say it, journalaists -- and work to stop the modern fascists. Your future is at stake, too.

@dangillmor Corporations are not just amoral, they are explicitly immoral, absent some external constraints such as democratic government regulation. There is nothing like a corporation to encourage an individual to give up on their own morals.

Sigh.
