Reading the news is a necessary duty for all citizens of a democracy. In my opinion, illiterates who have no clue about the issues should not be allowed to vote at all.
The issue today is yellow journalism, a gutter press and fake news. Partisan propaganda is not news, and yet that is the only way to characterize much of the MSM in the US today.
Case in point:
FAKE NEWS: James Comey Says New York Times Article Was False Over Russia Colluding https://youtu.be/0geLKRdM6jA
Going by his social-media history, the Alexandria shooter had been radicalized by leftist fake news. If he had been reading disinterested, factual journalism, his shooting rampage likely would have never happened.
