Will Bunch expresses what I’ve been thinking since Trump was elected. American democracy is under attack from within. The fascists who yearn for an authoritarian government in the media are promoting it, and the media who supposedly don’t support it fail to recognize it. They are busy trying to follow the political playbook of the 20th century.

      Don’t be disingenuous. You’re out here DEMANDING that journalists should still be out there on investigation beats even if there’s no way to earn a living doing it, but aren’t willing to do anything yourself other than complain about how lazy and biased they are.

        Are you suggesting that no one would read an actual, real, investigative journalism piece?

        That’s what it sounds like you’re saying

          Prepared by whom?

          If no one can get paid a living wage to do it, it won’t get done. You’re the one saying that a lack of funding for journalists is no excuse and that you DEMAND they go out there and do the work even if there’s no funding.

          If you’re so sure there is a good business model in what you want, go fucking do it.
