If you EVER want to 'win' back the country; you'd better 'win back' the education system.
(The media wouldn't hurt; either!)

Totally agreed. Not all of us in the media are left-wingers, just most... and I’m speaking with two and a half decades of reporting experience when I say that, and a mother who was trained as a reporter all the way back in the 1950s.
The news media were intended by the Founding Fathers to be the schools of politics for adults in the voting citizenry, with a wide variety of political positions being advocated.
The economics of printing and distribution made competing print newspapers non-viable in all but our largest cities after World War II. Hopefully the move of the media to the internet will restore the multiple voices in local news that have been standard for most of our American political history.
