   Excerpt from my latest "Cornerstone of Democracy" newsletter:

   We are veering into catastrophic times – into a violent, corrupt, extremist era that renders our nation unrecognizable, all too quickly, and throws the entire world into destructive chaos.

   If we are facing such a nightmare, journalists will have a simple, if agonizing, choice: Acquiesce to the regime. Or join the resistance.

     @dangillmor Thank you, Dan. You are one of the few that hasn't already acquiesced. I can remember pretty clearly the downfall of my previously-favored media. NPR, who "both-sidesed" its own reporting on Roger Stone after he was arrested. WaPo, for obvious reasons. NYT and its normalizing. What does it say that the most incisive op-ed about this moment is from USA Today? https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/columnist/2024/11/06/trump-wins-2024-presidential-election/75942805007/
