Editor Says Ep 2: Beyond the US election, what is at stake is democracy itself
3:33 mins
Synopsis: Every Friday afternoon, senior editors from The Straits Times give their take on the top news of the week, why it matters and what’s next.
It’s a cliffhanger. Down to the wire. Too close to call. The US election has been a nail-biter, with President Donald Trump and Democratic challenger Joe Biden locked in a tight race.
Beyond this contentious election, what is at stake is democracy itself, says The Straits Times editor Warren Fernandez, given how America has been plagued with alternative facts, fake news, misinformation and disinformation the last four years.
