As the day approaches, the left-wing media has been quick to describe this as an “assault on democracy,” among many other things.

Judy Woodruff: Tell me what you remember about the early days of Mark doing the NewsHour. Anne Shields: Whenever there was big political news, they would call Mark, and it just kind of migrated eventually to a Friday night regular venue. Mark liked it, and I think Lehrer liked it a lot. So, that made it a go. Jim Lehrer: Judy Woodruff: Mark became a weekly guest on The MacNeil/Lehrer NewsHour during the 1988 presidential election.
