That is NOT what he's saying at all. He's saying we have a choice between between brutal fascism or flawed democracy and that the news media needs to be clearer about that rather than just focusing on "who's winning" the horse race.

Re-read the article. There is so you can read the whole thing for yourself.

The news agency is not disclosing the full names of the soldiers as it was not able to obtain their comments about the excerpts. In three cases, the soldiers’ wives confirmed their husbands were at the front in messages to Reuters but declined to comment further. One cited Russian secrecy laws."

On the danger of covering politics like a horse race:

“A horse race confers an equivalence upon all candidates. The only detail that matters is who is going to win — not all that might be lost. To view America through that lens today is an exercise in the absurd, a practice stuck in the insular logic of the past.”
