Love this! www.notus.org/perspectives... (The suggestions from the 15 other WaPo veterans fall well short of the moment.)
Treat lies like obscenities. Kate Cohen Former Post contributing columnist My dream new journalistic standard would make it unacceptable to quote a lie in a news story. In the deep-fake, bot-infested Trump era, it’s no longer enough for news organizations to seek truth; we need them to protect the public from lies. Lies should be treated like obscenities, graphic violence or sexual content. That means literally refusing to repeat a transparent lie — not quoting it early and then offering corrective facts two paragraphs or 30 seconds later. Sure, sometimes it’s a judgment call whether a statement falls just to the spin side of the mendacity line. But sometimes it’s obvious. You know how news stories avoid quoting profanity by saying things like “he said, adding an expletive for emphasis”? That’s how reporters should deal with lies: e.g., “he said, before repeatedly lying about …” As for lying on live TV? Bring on the bleeps!

Scott Walker, struggling to stay relevant

Hey there Scott Walker. I noticed you deleted this after learning that in fact the shooter was from the right. I don’t think it matters either way, violence is violence, so I’m waiting for you to tweet the same thing with corrected facts?

Cuz you’re uh, to use your words, “being silent.”

One of the first things Dems should do with their majority is predicate QI on proper use of body cams.

No body cam, it's attempted murder.

The ICE officer who shot a Venezuelan man in Austin was not using a body camera during the Sunday incident, according to news reports.

The officer was issued a body camera, but it is unclear why he was not wearing the device during the shooting.

As you watch ICE shoot people with no consequences do you have any doubt Trump will send them to the voting locations to intimidate voters?! That is why Democratic AG's need to be ready in advance to protect people in their states and immediately arrest ICE agents who interfere with elections!
