The difficulty of being a citizen in the United States of America is that there is such a vast panoply of information out there. Tending to cause discontent, animosity, or envy. Pressure on the news room to meet economic goals is consistent, persistent, and invidious. A leader who makes use of popular prejudices and false claims and promises in order to gain power. Thus will the public be armed against the demagogues who use distortion and misinformation to twist democracy to their own profit.
Democracy is a mockery if it is left only to an autocracy of the informed.
