Aside from the attempts to overthrow an election and violate civic norms from the Republican Party, the brinksmanship, the gall to admit their only motivation is to prevent the government from functioning and the voters who think that’s ok, the guy from Florida freely abusing government power for spite and somehow not being drummed out of office …… and the “Faux News” they rode in on ….

…. Actually I nominate all news. Once upon a time there was Journalism. The article even mentioned Walter Cronkite as an example of a trusted newscaster but then threw that away. He wasn’t just trusted, he was the front man of an organization that built trust, that competed with others to be most trusted. Journalism had standards and professionalism. They had fairness and objectivity. They built and continually maintained TRUST.

Now all too much journalism is outrage, “content generation”, and clickbait. The industry no longer supports trustworthy news organizations Trustworthy news sources are much harder to find and most people don’t have the skills to filter it from the spew of crap that is called “news”
