Whether "robo-calls" are positive or negative, mean-spirited or humorous …
This exemplifies, in one sentence, everything wrong with the Post article.
First, it conflates get-out-the-vote and support-our-candidate, legal, robocalls, with the clearly illegal ones the National Republican Congressional Committee has been running. Second, it treats the whole thing as a big joke, which is just what the NRCC wants.
The New York Times story
Part of the way to handle this? If/when the next Democrat (or Green, or something like that, should we be so lucky), gets elected President, refuse to recognize reporters from papers like the Post at presidential press conferences.
