dangillmor , 2 days ago CNN has decided, based on its pre-debate "coverage", that the two major-party candidates are very much equivalent. The network's correspondents surely know that they are pushing the worst kind of false balance, but it is what they do routinely. Business as usual in Big Journalism will be seen by honest historians as one of the most effective enablers of fascism in America.
