Well said. Democracy demands citizens who are well informed. Indeed, it is one of the only requirements the Constitution requires of being American.

Thanks, Carl. Add to the cowardice of corporate media, Bezos’ alignment with the oligarch’s ideology moving the WaPo Op Ed pages to the far right, the changes at MSNBC, and the graft-driven donations to Trump’s inaugural. It may be that the only outposts of independent journalism, or the few that will remain, will be small town news.
