https://twitter.com/jayrosen_nyuJay Rosen thread on Twitter: 12/ Someone in government who can't live with what's happening will do what such people have always done: leak a 'big story' to the press. 13/ Most of these stories will be burned as fuel in the culture war, adding to Trump's power rather than "damaging" him in any way, BUT...14/ ... a leak will unfold that enrages Trump. He will demand a show of power. And the full force of the government will be brought to bear. 15/ DOJ guidelines (which aren't laws) and norms in government that said 'tread carefully around the press' these will vanish overnight. 18/ I guess the point I want to underline most is: the situation is way beyond just finding and publishing hard-hitting or critical stories. 19/ The problem is not at the level "how to cover Trump," but how to recover conditions in which anything journalists do makes a difference.
And this one from an hour ago:
20/ I don't think we have any answers to that. One thing I do know: "Don't hurt us, we'll be good!" won't save you. Winter is coming. END
