(62,270 posts)...like this just breaks my heart how the media has been destroyed. The free press is a forefront of our democracy. People like that, who show genuine interest in such a mundane thing, they're doing something they actually care about, documenting our ongoing history.
While the "MSM" and "mass media" for "entertainment" (FOX News, CNN, MSNBC) is an issue, the truth of the matter is that there are truthtellers out there. There are people who just see reality, document it, and share it with the public. That's the point of the free press.
Just weird seeing their reactions. They know not that they are daily eviscerated, hated upon, demonized. Well, they saw a brief glimpse of it as they went to the protest and had their equipment busted and were beaten. Very dangerous stuff.
