Great letters today. Thanks especially to Alex Kopenen for getting to the root cause of the epidemic of ignorance that plagues the nation and allows for the election of such a boorish, sexist, misogynistic, racist, narcissistic man entree to our White House. The truth has no place in this new trumpian world we live in. For thirty years we have seen the rise of a right wing media dead set on misinforming and disinforming the American audience to the point that viewers/listeners cannot separate the truth from the lies anymore. We have trump because of the dishonesty of the entire spectrum of right wing media. Shame on us as a nation for giving up the search for truth for the sake of garbage reporting that reinforces prejudices, hatreds and fears. We are better people. Please think about what you are consuming. Fast food poisons the body and junk information from most right wing media poisons the mind and soul.
