Big Journalism is treating the likely ascension of one of the most evil politicians of our era -- Jim Jordan -- to House Speaker as just another political horse race.

Democracy itself is on life support and it's still pretty much business as usual in most of our news media.

Oh, sure, the commentators see what's going on, and are permitted to say so. But the "news" sections/pages are still pretending.

@dangillmor A relative I consider to be especially informed didn't know that JJ is the same Jordan accused of ignoring sexual assault allegations from kids on his wrestling team. <mind blown>

It should be in every article. (As just one example of the many ways I agree with you that Big Journalism has failed us.)

@grammargirl @dangillmor And yet somehow they don't fail to mention Hunter Biden whenever... whenever anything, really.
