Republican Extremism and the Lessons of History

“How  has a faction consisting of no more than four dozen House members come to  exercise so much destructive power? The continuing abandonment of professional  responsibilities by the nation’s mainstream news sources – including most of the  metropolitan daily newspapers and the television outlets, network and cable –  has had a great deal to do with it. At some point over the past 40 years, the  bedrock principle of journalistic objectivity became twisted into the craven  idea of false equivalency, whereby blatant falsehoods get reported simply as one  side of an argument and receive equal weight with the reported argument of the  other side.”
