Add-on

Fyi, I think the Media in our country, a free press if you will, is not only desired, but necessary to a function democracy like ours. BUT, it must tread with caution. Right now, I'm just disappointed with the state of our press. I realize trauma and misery creates news, but the news also has the tremendous opportunity to mold our minds, shape our perceptions. Right now, my perception is that CNN, FOXnews, even Comedy Central's fake news shows, can shove it. You may be funny, but in the end, what are your viewers really taking out of it. I don't like how Jon Stewart thinks he isn't part of this crappy media establishment, cuz he damn is, but his rant against Tucker Carlson helped get rid of the terrible show and he certainly has a point. Oye!
