Great economic policy analysis from PBS NewsHour, showing a healthy skepticism of both candidates’ policies while discussing in depth multiple policy ideas and issues. It can be disappointing how many voters thoughtlessly blame/credit the current president for whatever economic conditions happen during their administration, regardless of the true causes of those conditions. This is the kind of journalism that we need to promote more critical thinking among voters, which should hopefully lead to more long term thinking.

Dan Rather wrote a rather epic tweet thread today. It is visceral and powerful. And it is about democracy. https://lnkd.in/gHdg__Ca If I may, there’s something I need to get off my chest. As democracy remains under siege, it has been frustrating to watch how the press covers politics these days. I am reminded by lessons that came to me during the Nixon years as a CBS News correspondent, which I’ll add here: 1. Enough with Both-sides-ism When one side lies intentionally and repeatedly, they are no longer entitled to the benefit of the doubt. They should be held to account, right away. Do not simply repeat the narratives they spew. 2. Prioritize Live Fact-Checking Rigorous and robust fact-checking is the best defense against misinformation, intentional lies, and deflection. If Trump says the sky is green, the story isn’t that the sky is now green; the story is that the sky is still blue and Trump got it wrong. 3. Ask Lawmakers Hard Questions Ask about the fundamental principles of democracy. Push them to go on the record that Biden won the 2020 election. Ask if they support the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. This writing is not to offer any claim of knowing it all. Your correspondent has made his share of mistakes, but after more than seven decades I believe I have picked up a few useful guideposts. Good journalism is always worth it. Our democracy depends on it. #fakenews #AI #auspol #democracy #data

Good Evening Colleagues and Friends, I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to share some perspective on the current political landscape of the United States. I am developing a presidential outlook, and as I explore potential outcomes, I must understand both sides of the political spectrum and their unique perspectives. It has become increasingly clear that certain conservative politicians are saying one thing, yet their actions suggest an ulterior motive. I aim to explore the recent changes in laws and the concerning trends that are gaining traction in the United States. By reflecting on historical patterns, I’ve drawn parallels between the present and the past, identifying motives and strategies that have been replicated over time. These history lessons have provided valuable insight and helped shape my predictions and outlook for the upcoming elections. Here is my analysis of the current state of the U.S. Conservative Party, along with historical comparisons. I would appreciate your feedback, as I’m eager to learn more and refine my understanding. Kind regards, Mario

Pivot Point: We must understand political diversity and how it can work for or against democracy. For decades HR and DEI practitioners have veered away from discussions of politics and governmental influence. As democracy stands in the balance this year, now is not the time to ignore such imminent threats as "political diversity or what some call as viewpoint diversity" can shape democracy for years to come. My perspective is offered because I care for this generation and the ones that come afterwards.
