New York Times / Seyward Darby / Jan 7, 2021
“The press has been complicit, too, perpetuating narratives about ‘lone wolves’ and ‘isolated incidents’ rather than doing the urgent work of connecting the dots. Rather than showing how, say, the language in a terrorist’s manifesto sounds a hell of a lot like the bigoted garbage spewed by pro-Trump YouTube pundits. Or how the occupation of the Michigan statehouse and plot against Gov. Gretchen Whitmer last year echoed previous anti-government efforts staged by right-wing activists, some dating back a few years, others decades.”
