It occurs to me that certain publications get paid by certain people to print certain things. Maybe we have to look into changing the first amendment so lying is no longer protected, fantasy must be marked as such and bending the truth must be clearly marked.
It would be nice to allow politicians to only speak the truth and every lie would cost them a few 1000 dollars to go into a fund for victims of their lies.
That would shorten the gravy train.
Oh well, on a cold winter's day like this , one can dream.
