In the words of Rahm Emanuel,
"You never let a serious crisis go to waste. And what I mean by that it's an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before."

(13,258 posts)Let me provide a list of the media outlets I trust 100% of the time.
None.
Each outlet needs to be examined specific to certain areas. Some support status quo; some question US interests; some couldn't find their ass with a flashlight, both hands and a guide animal. Within each outlet is a "reporter"/"journalist" who is more of the same in the micro version.
It takes time and energy and a will to actively participate in the "information highway." Sometimes I can take the time and energy though I always have the will.

If not now, then we just go on to the next news cycle and the tragedy becomes another link in the chain of gun violence and we wait for the next one because we know that to not do something now means there surely will be a next one and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next
