"If you're sick of political polarization, save local news." Yes, I'm with you! "And the solution is to fund local news with federal cash." Woops, you lost me.

I want local news that questions how federal policy impacts my community.

"It would be simplistic to say all of print and online media has a liberal bias."

Especially because the mass media has an authoritarian bias - pro-business, pro-war, anti-union, and elitist.

They covered for Bush an illegal domestic surveillance. They lauded Bill Clinton for working with Republicans to offshore our manufacturing base. Bill Kristol and David Drum are resistance heroes now. Remember all the adorable stories of Michelle Obama and George Bush sharing candy?

They don't hate Trump because Trump is a gross imbecile - they hate him because he isn't one of the ruling class.

Remember (or perhaps realize for the first time) that anyone who uses "populist" as an epithet fears and hates anyone who isn't part of the ruling class.
