No worries about the time to get back. That is one of the main benefits of a forum after all. But looking back at all discussed so far, what would you suggest as a solution of sorts, away from the decline in journalism back to pre1900's style, and more akin to that golden age that was seen as...

Hmm, I see. You don't see an increase in amount of stories that are false or unfounded, or that the use of talking heads to push a conclusion as anything new or concerning? Or is it just seemingly more frequent due to the speed in which it is noticed and called out? To say the least about it...

Companies have cracked down on discourse on all major sites and actively try to stop discussion by either forcing one side, or empowering users to weaponize the rules in some fashion to do it themselves.
