Yes, we do.

Look, I like the internet and the access to information. It still seems to me that ‘some’ of the information we get, fails to pan out. And when that happens, it strains the credibility of sources across the board. It is true the DNCp lives and dies by that same standard too.

I would like to see a program provided that does a good job of fact checking, which makes reports much more credible.

No, the elites are the only ones that think this bodes well for freedom period. And as we know, freedom is not their goal, unless it’s their freedom to destroy this nation.

H. L. Mencken:

March 17, 1944

...I have given my whole life to newspapers. I am convinced that they have abandoned their functions, and in an abject and ignominious manner, in the present war. Nine-tenths of them, and even more than nine-tenths, print the official blather without any attempt to scrutinize it... It is a disgraceful spectacle, but I do not believe that anything can be done about it. Roosevelt has taken the press into camp as certainly has he has taken the Supreme Court. It has ceased altogether to be independent and has become docilely official.

I'm having a 'nothing new under the sun' moment. And with that, I'm off to sandland, as 0'dark thirty and another shift awaits.
Good talking with you, D1. Take care.
