1. Journalism has embraced political activism beyond reasonable ethical boundaries.

2. Journalism has exacerbated partisan incivility, more than informed the electorate.
1. We had a wave of journalists facilitate virtue-signaling dummies in a quest to ban straws, why?

2. Anyone with a smidgen of curiosity and skepticism knew this already, so why wasn't THIS the dominant reporting rather than facilitation of activists? https://twitter.com/tictoc/status/1026474234363699200?s=19
If a journalist lacks critical thinking, curiosity and skepticism are they REALLY a journalist? đŸ€” https://twitter.com/kenklippenstein/status/1027301075337003010?s=19
Reminder: In journalism, ombudsmen are an endangered species, "media correspondents" not so much.

There are more useful idiots, etc. working in political journalism than journalists.

Don't @ me.
"The Post ignored basic journalist standards because it wanted to advance its well-known and easily documented, biased agenda against President Donald J. Trump 
 by impugning individuals perceived to be supporters of the President,” [the complaint] says. https://www.theatlantic.com/amp/article/583972/?__twitter_impression=true
The Atlantic's reporting on the Sandmann suit is fascinating. I'm curious: 1. WaPo settling is very unlikely, correct? 2. Could plaintiff win the case but be awarded damages substantially less than the amount sought?
