Just because we are better than some countries in some ways does not mean we are good enough. Media and the Government have lost the trust of many Americans.
How do we improve America so those institutions are worthy of our higher standards of trust?
- simonh 9y agoWhich media? The media that published Snowden? Or Manning? The media that broke this NSA unlawful behaviour story? Western media IMHO isnt really 'an institution', its hundreds of institutions. Me? I read the BBC for general current afairs, The Economist for in depth exploration of issues and topics and a bit of the Guardian here and there although it is a bit left wing for my tastes. Oh and once in a while Fox News just out morbid curiosity about what's going on in that particular alternate dimension of reality. There's plenty of choice out there. I used to love reading the English edition of Pravda back when I was a student. I really miss the USSR, Putin and co are all the shittyness without any of the Red Star chic.
