It's not often you see a journalist with the 'caliber' of John Harwood saying the quiet part out loud. We suppose when you have nothing left to lose you can say stupid crap like this:
John Harwood (@JohnJHarwood) ~ political reporters ought to report on the beliefs and perceptions of voters
they also ought to report on whether the beliefs and perceptions of voters are true or false
there's not enough of the latter

We made a similar face.
Alrighty then. Shall we just start calling him a Brown Shirt?
Asking for a friend.
He wants journos to control what you think ... THINK about that for a minute.
Fusilli Spock (@awstar11) ~ Yeah, that's not what "reporters" are supposed to do, it's what activists do. And you still don't understand why people despise and mistrust you.
We've known they're activists for a long time.
He's just finally admitting it now that he doesn't have a job to worry about.
Mark Hemingway (@Heminator) ~ If you want to know why modern journalism deserves to die a miserable death, consider the fact they’re saying out loud they need to tell voters what to think even more than they already are.
As much as you hate the mainstream media, it's not enough.
It's never enough.
Scott Coleman (@bandphan) ~ So if someone's beliefs don't politically align with yours, you should report that they're wrong? That seems pretty like the opposite of journalism.
John Podhoretz (@jpodhoretz) ~ Why would any person have reason to trust a partisan and intellectually challenged hack like you to determine truth or falsity?
Evan (@EvanRVice) ~ I went to school for journalism and at no point is any serious journalist taught to serve as the thought police. This is why John is unemployed.
Ding ding ding.
