Things I Won't Discuss in 2019

Until 2020, I will no longer discuss the fundraising hauls of various candidates. (the link is about Bernie crushing it)

I understand that campaign donations numbers are a fixture in political coverage, but that is bad and lazy journalism.

This sort of coverage is more than bad, it is damaging.

It replaces the discussion of real issues with meaningful horse race coverage.

I fear that the press coverage this cycle will make 2016 coverage look like Edward R. Murrow.
