Dear journalists: Please please please do not simply quote team Trump's latest lies -- in this case, the fantasy that the latest indictment is a "free speech" issue -- as one side of a dispute.

What will it take for Big Journalism to realize that our democracy is in serious jeopardy? What will it take for the craft to stand up in support of democracy?

At this point it's fair to worry that nothing will get journalists to move very far away from business as usual -- even with so much at stake.

If we had journalists, they would ask Ron Desantis why he said "slitting throats," what it means and if he thinks that's appropriate speech for a politician.
