Vox's Ezra Klein has some strong words for Brian Stelter about the choices newsrooms make. He wonders why President Trump's comments at rallies receive so much attention. He also sounds off on the appointment of Bill Shine and the media's framing of Trump's poll numbers. "One of the hard things that we do badly in journalism," he says, is "that we don't make clear to our audience what is our counterfactual... what is the other option."
