This reveal of the dangerously misleading ABC News/Washington Post Poll is another example of how flooded the country is with garbage and disinformation, including fascistic propaganda. We need to support and call upon the country's strongest investigative organizations and journalists, such as ProPublica, The Center for Public Integrity (CPI), Reveal – Center for Investigative Reporting (CIR) , The Bureau of Investigative Journalism. Jane Mayer, Olivia Carville, Bloomberg News, Jen Christensen, CNN, Sally Ho, Associated Press... our national newspapers and local papers: Los Angeles Times, Tampa Bay Times, Boston Globe. Pittsburgh’s The Public Herald... WE NEED JOURNALISTS MORE THAN EVER.

Would add The Seattle Times as a local, independent newspaper while still struggling to investigate local stories, they depend on other sources for national/international news. They have won awards for local investigative reporting.

Thank you, Kathe. You got my drift...it would make a difference to call and or write the papers that we read and or know about to encourage them to report on stories important to readers, including an issue, in particular, that you would like the paper to examine.

Yes, absolutely Fern we all need to support our local papers even if they are a shadow of what they once were, like our Tampa Bay Times. Write them often, even if they rarely publish your letters, to let them know where you stand and what you want them to cover. We need to hold onto every shred of democracy we can until some sanity returns to our nation. We are reaching a tipping point and how we show up now matters more than ever. Thank you.

The Miami Herald has been going some good work also.
