When things are going well, you can stand by and observe. We're in a death spiral and need as many hands on the tiller as possible.

- AnthonyMouse 6y agoThe death spiral is caused by journalists putting their hands on the tiller. If people are running around lying with partisan motivations, the most important thing you can have is a source of information trusted to be at least mostly objective. Someone to take the time to do the investigation and tell you what really happened in any given case, and carry good faith arguments from each side, not institutions that pick a side and defend them no matter what. Because people lose trust in institutions with an obvious bias. And then what do you have? Twitter?

- rayiner 6y agoJournalists lying to viewers faces about peaceful protests while streets burned in the background has helped the death spiral more than you can imagine.
