Cynicism is understandable after years of the scurvy Clintons and Obama.
Our reps must be deluged w/ messages about this AND details of what we expect them to do.
My definition of cynicism is “the conceit that negativity is objectivity.”Journalism has always claimed to be objective, and yet it has always known (“if it bleeds, it leads”) that it is negative. Thus, commercial journalism is cynical. Inherently.
