quote [ in a country like the U.S., democratic backsliding will likely to start off looking a lot more normal -- with slow, legal attacks on our democratic institutions. ]
Main link is Vox YouTube vid. More in extended...
The decline of American democracy won't be televised
Professor Huq, featured in the video, writes on Democratic Backsliding in the US and abroad in greater depth: This is how democratic backsliding begins What does it look like? Maybe a health care bill being crafted in total secrecy, rammed through without public hearings or scrutiny? Finally we get to see it- The Senate GOP health bill in one sentence: poor people pay more for worse insurance Plan is to pass it before the July 4 recess, so senators don't have to confront their constituents beforehand. Democratic backsliding, ftw.

Well it's great and all that you think that Breitbart and and Fox are the beginning and end of fake news, but like most partisan positions, it's naive.. Both sides spin and lie.
You linked to "think progress" as a proof point, that's no different than someone linking to Fox - but you don't get the irony.
Oh, and BTW, the "mistake" I mentioned has led to 3 journalists quitting in the last 24 hours, but that's just normal right?
