Good grief, journalists, stop calling the Supreme Court's six right-wing Republican apparatchiks mere "conservatives" --

They are extremists by any definition of the word, but your lazy language provides a fig leaf that only makes you look like saps.

I have to think there are journalists who *are* writing clearly and urgently about the present situation. It would seem the most recognized media outlets simply aren't publishing them (or are editing them into porridge) because they've capitalized so heavily on placating elite right-wing interests that they no longer have any incentive to be impartial—only to *appear* impartial to readers who hold white supremacist fascism and liberal centrism to be morally equivalent.
