It's tempting to say that the second most significant outcome of the debate was its confirmation that Big Journalism's political coverage -- with a few honorable individual exceptions -- has learned almost nothing from its horrendous failures of the past.
It's worse than that, though.
When the top story remains Biden's terrible fumbling, with broad indifference to the torrent of sewage that came out of Trump's mouth, let's face it.
Journalism is failing again, but on purpose this time.
#TheBigLie/other #GOPLies are amplified:
">3 years later, the right can’t even agree on how the election was supposedly stolen. Secret thumb drives? Italian satellites? Mail-in ballots? “Votes that flipped”? Dead ppl voting? -Collection of dumb claims that deserves to be disrespected. Some journalists think fairness means airing any theory that has a constituency, no matter how crazy.
The news media must stop respecting the liars & concentrate on defending the truth."

My story about how telematics data from people's cars unexpectedly raised their insurance rates is on the front page today...
... and this is where it started: me lurking on car forums and seeing comments like this.
If this story doesn't convince lawmakers we need a strong federal privacy law, I'm not sure what will.
What would the people who wrote, and ratified, the Fourteenth Amendment have thought about this Supreme Court decision?
Would they have thought, oops, our bad. We didn’t write that clearly enough.
They didn’t want anyone who had participated in an insurrection ever to hold public office, much less be allowed to run for President. They said that as clearly as they could.
They didn’t specify an enforcement mechanism—they trusted us future people to work out the details.
We’ve let them down.

Sen. Mitch #McConnell’s legacy will be that he purposefully undermined America’s first Black president, he broke the Supreme Court, he helped elect a fascist President, and he abetted up an insurrection on American soil.

Dear journalists who remain on Twitter:
You actively participate on a site operated by an extremist right-winger who promotes other extremists who want, among other things, to end democracy. The end of democracy means, in case you haven't grasped this yet, the end of freedom of expression.
This means you are actively supporting his business -- and you're doing it for free.
Please grow a spine, and stop helping the people who hate you and want to destroy what you do.
