We'll be like the right wing who stopped listening to the news years ago. Then the only people listening to the news will be the "mushy middle" - the ones who actually decide the outcome of elections. They are also the ones most susceptible to propaganda.

We need to support those that call out the propaganda. We need support writers and academics who get after the truth. In this new media age it will be far too easy to obliterate objective truth completely. We must fiercely resist this or our posterity will be doomed.
