If they could learn just one lesson, I'd be happy:
  • Hysteria doesn't work. Not in the long-run. Stop hyperventilating about everything and just report the truth. I don't even care if you have a slant to your reporting, that's to be expected, no one is entirely unbiased. But for the love of God stop acting like everything Trump does is the "end of democracy", or that not affirming someone's pronouns is "denying their existence", or that the entire world is gonna be underwater in 50 years. Just stop with the theatrics, PLEASE.

I really hope MSM and the new York times specifically get their shit together after this. A 2017 mea culpa but sustained and better!
