The period following election of Donald Trump as President of the United States has been a trying time for us all. Many have dealt with the shock and awe of his victory viscerally through tears, while many others have retreated to places of safety, with others still grappling amidst the enormity of this triumph emanating as a thunderclap from the American people. For those as yet unsure how to process all the conflicting emotions now being felt, where better to turn than the mouths of babes... On a grey winter morn a father sporting a faux-hawk and goatee sits solemnly with his female life-partner covered in tattoos and dual ear-gauges before a small child whose eyes are full of wonderment.
Faux-Hawk Father: Hey buddy, you being the son of my wife I wanted to settle down with your mother here and have a listening session in our safe space about any anxieties or fears you may have about the recent election. If there's anything you want to tell us - please - share. Boy: There was an election and the guy you and Mom don't like won. That's about it, isn't it? Ear-Gauged Mama: No, he didn't win.

When I try to access this article, I get a full page pop up for an app. I cannot bypass the pop up. Is someone censoring this page?
The world turned upside down: Pravda as a reliable news source and the American media as mouthpieces for the party line.
No, you need something to block these things. I didn't see it or any others popups.
I have only one popup adblock type of addon in my Firefox. It's called uBlock. It does it all. Occasionally, if a page that is loaded with stuff comes up, it gives you a screen that gives you an option to temporarily unblock.
The two Soviet Union papers were Pravda (truth) and Izvestis (news).
The joke went something like this: "There is no Pravda in Izvestia and no Izvestia in Pravda."
Which means, "There is no Truth in the News and there is no News in the Truth."
Today we can say there is no Pravda in the NYT and the WaPo.
Who, 50 years ago, would EVER have thought that a Russian news outlet was more truthful than our supposedly two top papers?
