quote [ in a country like the U.S., democratic backsliding will likely to start off looking a lot more normal -- with slow, legal attacks on our democratic institutions. ]

The decline of American democracy won't be televised
Professor Huq, featured in the video, writes on Democratic Backsliding in the US and abroad in greater depth: This is how democratic backsliding begins What does it look like? Maybe a health care bill being crafted in total secrecy, rammed through without public hearings or scrutiny? Finally we get to see it- The Senate GOP health bill in one sentence: poor people pay more for worse insurance Plan is to pass it before the July 4 recess, so senators don't have to confront their constituents beforehand. Democratic backsliding, ftw.

Both sides spin and lie....Journalism not politics. Some are biased and some are pure lies. Keep score it will tell you the difference. You seem to thing just because a publication has a different view than yours they are lying.
What happened at CNN is a good example of what happens if reporters republish fake news without another source and 3 journalists quitting in the last 24 hours is what happens when fake news is reported at a real news outlet...what happens at Fox?

Finally, weighing the Government’s
interest in preserving national security against the hard-
ships caused to respondents by temporary denials of entry
into the country, the balance of the equities favors the
Government. I would thus gr
ant the Government’s appli-
cations for a stay in their entirety.
