@ps9714 Maybe we have to start seeing ourselves as the guardrails? Becoming more engaged to ensure accountability and fairness. And being engaged covers more than just being vocal.
@Tacitus_Kilgore I think we're seeing that in the proliferation of alternatives to the likes of the New York Times and other Beltway media. The media was supposed to be part of those guardrails, and it has failed spectacularly. @ps9714 @tippitiwichet
@LiberalLibrarian I can certainly agree with that. @ps9714 @tippitiwichet
@Tacitus_Kilgore @LiberalLibrarian @ps9714 Maybe longer. Just remembered an old poem I heard a rumour was inspired by Russian propaganda. Still saving data, so search if you will, but A.E. Housman (1859-1936) wrote:
Infant Innocence
The Grizzly Bear is huge and wild;
He has devoured the infant child.
The infant child is not aware
It has been eaten by the bear.
Where's that image of Putin holding MTG as a toddler?
@LiberalLibrarian @ps9714 @tippitiwichet MSM over the last 30 years (maybe longer?) has taken sides rather than just report news. Opinions have replaced factual information.
