The problem is that if people get snowed under by the news, and start to ignore it, they settle for listening to sound bites, social media, and their mechanic’s second cousin’s barber who listens to late night AM radio & podcasts.
An informed nation, getting their information from reputable sources is the best defense against ending up with cults of personality running things and saying “Don’t worry your pointy little wooden heads – everything is fine.
