Just the other day, I was accused of being a coward. I was told to crawl under a rock and pray the fascists don’t eat me. Something to that effect. All because I admitted that I was no longer following the news. The solution, I was told, was to find reputable news sources and not propagandists. As if the biggest problem facing America was a reliable, independent news source. That’s a bit like complaining about a leaky toilet on the Titanic.
