An opinion piece from the Los Angeles Times called for journalists to become “partisans for democracy” to prevent “right-wing extremists” from taking office.
'Outnumbered' panelists discuss the study that shows newscasts' coverage of the Republican Party ahead of the midterm election is 87% negative.
"America’s future hangs on the defeat of the right-wing extremist authoritarians who have seized the name of Lincoln’s party. If we lose, news corporations and journalists with a misplaced sense of ‘balance,’ ‘neutrality’ and ‘nonpartisanship’ will bear a considerable share of the blame," he wrote. "In the final days of this election season, Americans must recognize that the existential struggle we are engaged in now is not just a game. If the enemies of democracy prevail and take control of either house of Congress in the midterms, there will be no ‘wait till next year.’ They would probably refuse to accept the election of a Democratic president in 2024. The game would be over, if not permanently, at least for many years," McElvaine wrote.
"When one side is objectively wrong, is lying, and is exceedingly dangerous, being objective requires consistently and relentlessly laying out these facts," he wrote.
