The press is the most important thing to ensure one's freedom. The fist thing a dictator like Putin will do is shut down the free press, as he has done in Russia.

15 year prison sentence for using the word "War"!

Without a free press, where would we find out the truth? The people one cannot trust are those that shut down a free press.

One can tell the health of a democracy simply by seeing how free the press is.

And it depends on what media we are talking about. There are some media and people who are trustworthy and some who are not.

The trick is to know the difference.

The "Big Lie" so many Republicans are now telling is the most audacious lie I have ever seen in my lifetime of following politics.

And. one can never trust FOX to tell the truth and worse even to know the truth as they not only lie, but are stupid.

But news outlets like the New York Times, or MSNBC usually get it right.

But best of all is to find the pundits one can trust like E.J.Dionne, Charles Blow, etc.

I am 80 years old and have followed politics all my life.

The one thing i know for sure is that the right wing and Republican party have always been a danger to our county for their lies and dishonesty.

<,

View from behind the scenes...I mean, no one with a Right mind trusts media..right?
