The media is ignoring the Trump threat! Well, except for all these stories.

Norman Ornstein, an emeritus scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, issued this media imperative on Tuesday: “Here is what every responsible news organizations should be doing for the next 100 days. Showcase and focus relentlessly on THE STAKES. Every area of policy. Programs and articles on what a Trump Administration would do and what a Harris Administration would do. The environment. Womens’ health. NATO. Health care. Voting rights. Civil Service. The judiciary. Social Security. Taxes. And so on.” Solid prescription — and one that aligns with a popular critique advanced by President Biden, who, as a candidate, attempted to shoo media organizations away from “the horserace numbers and the gotcha moments and the distractions.” That overture appears to draw inspiration from influential New York University journalism professor Jay Rosen, who has emphasized reporting the campaign’s “stakes” over its “odds.” Media maven Margaret Sullivan, MSNBC host Joe Scarborough and others have landed in an adjacent polemical neighborhood, ripping their peers for insufficient “stakes” coverage.
