9. yes, that was when it truly started. It's grown exponentially since
and I feel it is the biggest threat to our country, and our democracy.

It's the biggest threat because there's almost nothing we can do about it except compete. But you can't compete with a gazillioniare like Rupert Murdoch.

Most Americans still trust the media. I did, until not too long ago. I grew up in the Watergate days, and I always figured that if the government did anything too horrible, or too blatant, that the media would be there to expose it.

That is no longer true. Most Americans don't realize it.
