A democracy depends on an active media holding the powers that be to account. We don't have a lot of that anymore but Stelter and others on the network like Keilar, Acosta and others held the dump administration to account for four years. Yes it has too much of the breakign news BS but it is far from a dumpster fire. We're already seeing more RW guests on there spewing lies and that is not good for our democracy.
