One issue is that "losing faith" in the press is exactly what Republicans want. The goal is to dismantle government, to create doubt and chaos, to keep the fires of hate burning brightly. My local paper in Minnesota which is printed only twice a week, but online daily, is owned by Forum Communications in North Dakota. It is extremely conservative and only allows LOCAL elections and LOCAL news to be reported. It endorsed Dr. Scott Jensen (R) who ran for governor, and fortunately lost. Jensen is an extremist of the worst kind and lost in my county (Olmsted) by over 12 points! (To Gov. Walz, now in his second term.) Many people here were furious that Jensen was endorsed. (I haven't had subscription for quite awhile since it went in this direction,but can read some of it online.) If I won a millions of dollars I would buy it. (The Rochester Post Bulletin was sold in 2019 to Forum Communications for an undisclosed amount. It is now part of The Borg.)
