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.

The Resistance to a New Trump Administration Has Already Started

An emerging coalition that views Donald J. Trump’s agenda as a threat to democracy is laying the groundwork to push back if he wins in November, taking extraordinary pre-emptive actions.

The New York Times
@dangillmor I would like an exposé on how a story like that happens. The writer wrote a draft based on an editor’s instructions, their editor gave them feedback, the rewritten final draft was turned in, where final edits were made, the headline was written by someone else. How does the reporter feel about the downstream team changing what they wanted to write? I want to see the first draft or hear what they would have written with no direction. Anonymously, of course.
