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.
All comments are subject to approval before they are published, so they will not appear immediately. Comments should be civil, relevant, and substantive. Anonymous comments are not allowed and will be unceremoniously deleted. For more on my comments policy, please see this entry on my other blog.
AND A NEW RULE (per this post): comments critical of Trump's lying must include criticism of Biden's or Kamala's or some prominent leftie's lying on a one-for-one basis! Failure to be balanced means your comment will not be published.
