   I can find only one major journalism organization -- the Guardian US -- that a) understands the accelerating threats to our democracy; b) relentlessly explains what is happening; and c) has proudly assumed the role of an advocate for saving democracy.

   I'm fairly sure that other Big Journalism orgs understand. A (scant) few have even begun to give this the ongoing coverage it requires.

   But apart from the Guardian, they can't be bothered to become the advocates we desperately need.

     @dangillmor This is when we elevate* the news organizations doing the job of reporting that we expect from them: Facts and framing that places those facts in a clear context that reflects this moment.

     ProPublica is currently carrying half the weight of US investigative journalism.
