Out today: Wildland: The Making of America’s Fury by Evan Osnos.

Osnos told Axios: “The moment I knew I had to write this book was August 6, 2015 — the night of the first Republican presidential debate, which I watched at the home of some Trump supporters in Ohio. The host was drinking from a coffee cup with a swastika on it. I had absolutely no expectation that Trump would win, but I decided that a pre-history of Trump would be vitally necessary someday, to understand how he became remotely possible in American politics.”

Same Election. Different Stories.

Election Day brings a flood of political news — and which sources you follow can shape the story you see.

That's why I appreciate what Ground News does. It shows how the same story is covered across the political spectrum — and highlights important stories that one side may be ignoring entirely.

And when the votes are counted and everyone starts debating what they mean, it's a useful way to get a broader view.
