As democracy remains under siege, it has been frustrating to watch how the press covers politics these days. I am reminded by lessons that came to me during the Nixon years as a CBS News correspondent, which I’ll add here:
1. Enough with Both-sides-ism
When one side lies intentionally and repeatedly, they are no longer entitled to the benefit of the doubt. They should be held to account, right away. Do not simply repeat the narratives they spew.

I believe it was a freeper that exposed Rather as a fake news fraud. That person might have been the first internet journalist.

I honestly thought Dan Rather died.
I was right.

Dan Rather wrote this without a sense of irony? /rhetorical

It’s not the press. Big media is de facto run by the state. If you want to undermine, overthrow or destabilize a country, first thing needs to be done is gain control of the media.

Screw You, Rather!
He sees his side devolving into tribalism which will consume it, and if we're not careful, it will consume all of us.
He was part of the problem that got us into this position, and if he wasn't arrogant enough to attempt to toss a memo into the race, a memo that no military person I've ever worked with or seen would create (CYA memo my ass) that somehow fit directly into accusations about Bush's past and corroborated those outrageous claims, their side might have had a chance to win that time, but he got busted and tossed out on his ass.

Do not simply repeat the narratives they spew. It's done right here about every minute or so.

Buckhead. Who is actually a Georgia attorney defending one of Trump’s co-defendants in the Fani Willis case right now. There is video circulating of the highly effective argument he made for dismissal last Friday.

Correction, danny-boy. It's our Constitutional Republic that's under siege.

It is quite possible that he sincerely believes this. He avoids alternate sources of information. He, and many others, live in a bubble. This is not healthy.
