We gravitate to what moves or entertains us.
I read a lot.
I will turn to the television and come away often wanting. Occassionally, there is insight I've missed and sometimes corroboration or refutation to my own findings. We all need the conversation and frankly, DU is a pretty good resource.
But we are reliant on media for information outside our purview. We are reliant on media to hold leadership to task.

Our society is moving faster than our ability to fact check. Heard a story on the radio yesterday where a reporter revealed her earlier career where she needed at least two or three verifications. Now we live with a post that captures our world view.

Even academia has been affected.
Witnessing and living in this transition saddens me.
