Media switching from covering the odds to covering what's at stake

Source: Arizona Mirror - Feb. 28, 2024

This will be welcome and needed, if they can pull it off in Arizona.

News diets aren’t unlike our actual diets, and so much of election journalism is like junk food: stories about polls and fundraising totals and endorsements have lots of empty calories and little nutritional value. They are refined sugars, providing a quick hit of energy but fading quickly, and leaving the reader wanting for substance.

Same fellow..Good to see journalists identifying needs for voters...good read today..more from article..

There is little doubt what awaits us under another Trump presidency. Republicans are making no bones about what they intend to do to our nation and our government should the twice-impeached, four-times-indicted business fraud and rapist once again capture the White House.

At stake are our civil rights, our freedom of speech, our treatment of immigrants and America’s course as a secular nation.

Time to sign up at AZ Mirror..All I want is truth..don't we all..
