Rebecca Solnit on Facebook: I spent much of the last almost 24 hours not doing my usual job--the one I do for a living, which is at present writing my current book (plus answer endless emails)--to do the job the legacy media and major news outlets were not doing: reporting on the impact and illegality of the latest coup attempt by the Trump team. If we had the press I wish we did, I might've urged you here and there to contact your representatives or commented a little but I would not have been scouring for informed and expert opinions and interpretations on what was happening and posting them madly, because you would've been reading and listening to them in that mainstream media. Most of what I shared did not come from them because they were pretty useless and behind the curve, these institutions valued in the hundreds of millions with immense salaried staffs. It came from legal scholars and experts, independent journalists--including Marisa Kabas, an independent journalist at The Handbasket who was the first to report the leaked order to cut off all that funding. The New York Times, the Washington Post, etc. didn't get the scoop. She did, and even the next morning a lazy, lackluster underreporting and playing down of what happened. Really you can blame the outcome of the November election in part on that kind of sanewashing and normalizing and softening up of all their Trump coverage and the consequences of what he has done and threatened to do--and is doing now.
