Let's invent a unit called the mitt, after Mitt Romney, which measures a candidate's scandalousness. Romney himself=1 mitt (pretty low). 2/
Here's a math-y way to think about the problem critics have with media coverage of Clinton and Trump. Maybe it will provide some clarity. 1/

Obama is/was also about 1 mitt. There are a few issues around the margin—e.g. Rezko. But overall, a pretty clean bill of health. 3/

On this scale, Hillary Clinton measures 5 mitts. Some stories are exaggerated. But there's a lot there! Much more than Romney or Obama. 4/

Clinton is in fact treated by media as a 5-mitt candidate. Sometimes the balance is off. But overall she deserves—and gets—much scrutiny. 5/

But Trump is a 50-mitt candidate! There's everything: corruption, racism, lying, fitness for office. Like nothing we've ever seen before. 6/

Trump gets harsh coverage. But it can't, or doesn't, fully scale up to his candidacy. He's treated as a 7 mitt when he's really a 50... 7/

The compromise winds up being that media covers Trump broadly, but thinly. Many vectors of reporting but not much sustained focus. 8/

Arguably the reverse would be better. Focus on fewer stories but in more depth. Some examples of this, e.g.
@fahrenthold, but not many. 9/ - その他の返信を表示

@NateSilver538 I disagree that Etch-a-Sketch Mitt was a 1. He had plenty of scandals surrounding SLC Olympic bribes that the media ignored. -

@NateSilver538 It might be more of a qualitative diff tho. Trump says he's a dick, so being a dick is not news. Clinton claims virtue. - さらに表示

@NateSilver538 it's not about easing up on Clinton....stop the speculation over conspiracy theories and I've just found 30 mins free time -
@natesilver538 Interesting. Makes sense. It's analogous to olfactory fatigue. Trump is so scandalous everyday, that it's difficult to show -
@NateSilver538 Yes, sustained focus on a few lines of 'reasoning' or areas of interest would be better. Pushback on BS would help, too. -
@NateSilver538 is such a joke. But more like this: So Nickleback walks into a bar. There's no punchline because ruining music isn't funny. -
@NateSilver538 you do realize using a number doesn't make what you're doing math, right? -
@NateSilver538 You forgot to factor in Hillary's Bill-did-it-you-be-married-to-him-so -own-it mitts that skew her overall number. -
@NateSilver538 If Trump & Clinton were two data points, visualizing it's like putting the Sun by Jupiter. You fudge the size or distance. -
@NateSilver538@stuartpstevens Great analysis. Another angle: Trump is using bed of nails strategy. 1 nail hurts like hell. 100 not so much -
@NateSilver538 I'd give Hillary more than a 5.
