    ‘When a population becomes distracted by trivia, when cultural life is redefined as a perpetual round of entertainments, when serious public conversation becomes a form of baby-talk, when a people become an audience... then a nation finds itself at risk’ — Neil Postman, 1985

    The failing @nytimes writes false story after false story about me. They don't even call to verify the facts of a story. A Fake News Joke!

    Any debate about civility in politics begins with Trump. No one has degraded discourse more, while embracing the fringe. Fact, not opinion.

    I think you should test this thesis by moving to Moscow immediately and working for an anti-Putin opposition party. Enjoy!

    To be clear: The President of the United States is denying a factual, months-long effort, done carefully to estimate the number of Americans who died in PR above baseline -- and fully expects his supporters to believe him. It's an important moment.
