This will be welcome and needed, if they can pull it off in Arizona.

News diets aren’t unlike our actual diets, and so much of election journalism is like junk food: stories about polls and fundraising totals and endorsements have lots of empty calories and little nutritional value. They are refined sugars, providing a quick hit of energy but fading quickly, and leaving the reader wanting for substance.
