On Politics: Trump is gone, but the media’s misinformation challenge is still here

Should news outlets contextualize false claims made by powerful people? Or ignore them completely?

And while this has profoundly affected the country’s politics, and so much else, it has raised unique challenges for one group in particular: journalists. After all, the high-profile Republicans who are obfuscating the events of Jan. 6 are undeniably newsworthy. Stefanik is the third-ranking House Republican; Johnson may seek re-election in a pivotal Senate race; polls indicate that Trump would be the commanding front-runner if he seeks the Republican presidential nomination in three years.

Yet journalists will never feel comfortable publishing anything they know to be false. Social media has also raised the stakes of airing misleading statements, even in the service of conveying the news. If a lie can make it halfway around the world before the truth can get its pants on, then maybe the act of printing a falsehood and debunking it in the next sentence is just giving the falsehood a head start. Mainstream outlets have tried to square this circle by contextualizing problematic quotes and allegations. But this is difficult to do well, and it may be impossible to strike the exactly correct balance. “I don’t think the answer is to ignore them,” Bill Grueskin, a professor at Columbia Journalism School and a former senior editor at The Wall Street Journal, said of top Republicans who say misleading things, “because they don’t represent a fringe part of the Republican Party — a sizable number of Republican voters believe the Democrats were responsible for the insurrection and have somehow convinced themselves that Trump was not culpable.” Over the course of Trump’s presidency, the news media became more comfortable with straightforwardly identifying falsehoods, said Dafna Linzer, who was until recently the managing editor of politics for NBC News and MSNBC.

When its reporters and editors determine that a notable politician — be it Josh Mandel, a Republican Senate candidate in Ohio; Dennis Kucinich, a Democratic candidate for Cleveland mayor; or Trump — has said something false and designed primarily as propaganda, they do not publish it, even in a way that debunks it.

He offered an example from this month, in which a reporter [covered](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRi4xelP4Q4AWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3LmNsZXZlbGFuZC5jb20vb3Blbi8yMDIxLzA3L2pkLXZhbmNlLXVzZWQtdG8tYWRtb25pc2gtZG9uYWxkLXRydW1wcy14ZW5vcGhvYmljLWFwcGVhbHMtdG8tdm90ZXJzLXVudGlsLWhlLWRlY2lkZWQtdG8tcnVuLWZvci1zZW5hdGUuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD01NiZlbWM9ZWRpdF9jbl8yMDIxMDcyNyZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0zNjM4MSZubD1vbi1wb2xpdGljcy13aXRoLWxpc2EtbGVyZXImcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTY0NTcwJnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0Qgpg_qWSAGHvRrBeUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~) a forum in which the Republican Senate candidate J.D. Vance repeatedly referred to illegal immigration as “dirty.” The reporter produced an analysis of how Vance had transformed in a few years from being someone who would have condemned such language. “Four years ago,” Quinn said, describing his newspaper’s own evolution, “we would have had a story: ‘J.D. Vance came to Cleveland, called immigrants “dirty.”’” This approach has its own drawbacks, including opening up the newspaper to allegations of partisan bias. But to many industry leaders, the days of “he said, she said” without the weight of the journalist’s judgment are long gone. Joan Donovan, the research director of the Shorenstein Center at Harvard, has advocated a strategy called “strategic silence,” urging news organizations not to give platforms to certain ideas. But while that might be sensible with a fringe white supremacist group, she said in an interview, a different stance is necessary with prominent politicians. She suggested unearthing the motives behind politicians’ false narratives. “Some journalists don’t like to tilt into what might be called conjecture,” she said, “but you do have to help the audience understand and locate those lies in the context of the moment we’re in, which is a struggle over the definition of what happened on Jan. 6 and what’s to blame.” Supporters of President Biden in South Phoenix in November. Democratic campaign committees are already investing millions to avoid another drop in Latino support during the midterm elections next year.Adriana Zehbrauskas for The New York Times One of Biden’s big goals: Winning back Latino voters from Republicans By Jennifer Medina and Lisa Lerer For years, Latino activists and organizers complained that Democratic efforts to woo their community often seemed like an afterthought, a motley collection of Spanish-language advertisements, haphazardly translated campaign literature and a handful of outreach staff members tacked on to campaigns. But after last year’s election, when Republicans peeled away [significant amounts of Latino support across the country](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRi4xelP0TxaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMS8wNC8wMi91cy9wb2xpdGljcy90cnVtcC1sYXRpbm8tdm90ZXJzLTIwMjAuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD01NiZlbWM9ZWRpdF9jbl8yMDIxMDcyNyZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0zNjM4MSZubD1vbi1wb2xpdGljcy13aXRoLWxpc2EtbGVyZXImcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTY0NTcwJnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0Qgpg_qWSAGHvRrBeUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~), Democratic leaders are trying a more aggressive approach. Led by a White House that recruited top Latino organizers to high-level staff positions, and with the first lady, Jill Biden, taking a particular interest in reaching out to Latino voters, the new effort bridges the party, encompassing policy, communications and political organizing. The outreach encompasses a broad number of community leaders and social media stars, such as Eugenio Derbez, a Mexican comedian, and meetings with Hispanic faith leaders. The efforts reflect how vital Latino voters are to the party’s success, but also the extent of the work needed to win back a group that makes up nearly 20 percent of the population. Democrats have long viewed these voters — a diverse group that includes dozens of countries of origin and a wide range of socioeconomic status — as a mostly monolithic bloc that could be taken for granted, operating as though the most important factor was simply turnout; if Latino voters cast ballots, the reasoning went, they will vote Democratic. But 2020, with a record 18.7 millions ballots cast by Latino voters, proved just how wrong that theory was. Though roughly [60 percent](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRi4xelP0TwaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cucGV3cmVzZWFyY2gub3JnL3BvbGl0aWNzLzIwMjEvMDYvMzAvYmVoaW5kLWJpZGVucy0yMDIwLXZpY3RvcnkvP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTU2JmVtYz1lZGl0X2NuXzIwMjEwNzI3Jmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTM2MzgxJm5sPW9uLXBvbGl0aWNzLXdpdGgtbGlzYS1sZXJlciZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9NjQ1NzAmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmD-pZIAYe9GsF5SG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~) chose President Biden, the movement toward Donald Trump plunged Democrats into a period of soul-searching. The Democratic Party is now trying to use data to better understand Latino voters, and to try to develop a more granular understanding of how different national backgrounds, economic status and other factors change voting behavior. Some activists are quietly criticizing the new efforts as lackluster, and point out that while outreach has increased, there has not been a major policy victory on a critical issue like an immigration overhaul. But they acknowledge that there is a growing recognition that winning over Latino voters will take more than stops at taco shops and inserting mangled Spanish slogans into stump speeches. “I would hope the lesson has been learned that you cannot take the Latino vote for granted,” said Arturo Vargas, the chief executive officer of the National Association of Latino Elected Officials, who recently briefed White House staff members on the organization’s policy priorities. “We’ve been saying that for decades, and I think that has now fallen on ears that are open.” [Read the full article](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRi4xelP0T2aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMS8wNy8yNy91cy9wb2xpdGljcy9sYXRpbm8tdm90ZXJzLWJpZGVuLWRlbW9jcmF0cy5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTU2JmVtYz1lZGl0X2NuXzIwMjEwNzI3Jmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTM2MzgxJm5sPW9uLXBvbGl0aWNzLXdpdGgtbGlzYS1sZXJlciZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9NjQ1NzAmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmD-pZIAYe9GsF5SG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~).
