A momentous and violent event marked by overwhelming upheaval and demolition. Peoples' doubt that they are getting the truth can turn to cynicism. Most of it, it seems to me, is terribly delinquent in covering the important news of the community. To provide gratification for others' desires. The idea that everybody in the news business has to now pander to the lowest common denominator is a very unhealthy development.
Talk shows on radio.
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.
