IMPORTANT ISSUES! THESE ARE NOT SOLICITATIONS

This weekend, after a deranged gunman unleashed chaos at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, the media did exactly what Donald Trump wanted: They blamed the Democrats. In an interview following the chaotic scene, CNN’s Dana Bash actually asked Representative Jamie Raskin if Democrats should "think twice" about their "heated rhetoric." It’s the same false balance that we’ve come to expect from cynical Beltway punditry, and it is a self-fulfilling prophecy of passivity. As The New Republic’s Greg Sargent puts it, there is no "Archimedean midpoint" between these two camps. On one side, you have Democrats criticizing policy. On the other, you have a man who calls the press the "enemy of the people" and has said his political enemies deserve to be shot. At The New Republic, we call out fascism when we see it. We don’t hide passivity behind bipartisan bromides. But we need your help to keep providing this aggressive, hard-hitting journalism. Subscribe today. Yes, I'll join! As Raskin told Sargent this week, "The media should understand that the survival of the free press is at stake right now, along with the rest of the Bill of Rights." The American mainstream media is falling for a "both sides" trap while Trump calls them the enemy. Their fear of being divisive may just give him room to break the country. Join us, and ensure that we remain a fiercely independent publication that answers to our readers, not the despots. Subscribe to The New Republic Thank you for standing with us.
