I cannot understand why Big Journalism isn't yelling from the rooftops about the Republicans' voter suppression crusade -- in state after state, working to rig elections.
Even on the rare occasions when journalists notice, they talk about a single state with zero context. It's like spotting a brush fire but never observing that the entire forest is ablaze.
The Republicans are engaged in a direct attack on people's right to vote. It is a direct attack on democracy.
And our media won't see it.
