"We cannot... offer Trump an open microphone to broadcast his falsehoods and conspiracy theories."

As @jayrosen_nyu so clearly states, it's "not the odds, but the stakes"...Media and #journo can convey context without partisan pandering, clearly citing facts on autocracy objectively...@Sulliview is right, the public deserves to be informed. #NewsLiteracy #democracy
