The media breathlessly reporting #Hur's smear of #Biden while ignoring #Trump's descent into dementia is a stark illustration of why they need to be, but aren't, following npub1u6cxe50lnhjtuqeuntzr6eg08fc0vee3pfue66uqwtyhs2nmqkps8tuwj7 (npub1u6c…uwj7)'s rule for modern political coverage: "Not the odds, but the stakes."
They ignore Trump's lying, threats, and insanity because *it's not news*, because it's not *new*.
Their insistence on covering what's novel instead of what's important is endangering democracy.
We're rhyming with 1930s Germany. #politics #USPol
