"Not the odds, but the stakes."
That's my shortand for the organizing principle we most need from journalists covering the 2024 election. Not who has what chances of winning, but the consequences for our democracy. Not the odds, but the stakes.
Today the New York Times published an example of stakes reporting:
"Trump and his allies are planning a sweeping expansion of presidential power over the machinery of government...."
One week ago, a court in California ruled that employers cannot be sued for spreading COVID to their workers due to lack of protections.
This week, In-N-Out banned their employees from wearing masks.
This is horrible.
DeSantis' Florida is creating a state-run, brownshirt "militia".
At least some honorable people there are saying, "No way will I be part of this."
But America's new fascists are more and more brazen. And if the rest of us don't start taking the threat they represent more seriously, they could prevail.
