Hopefully the following statistic will be repeated, in time in other places, such as Australia. According to survey research by the Reuters Institute, 42 percent of Americans avoid the mainstream news because it oppresses them, or they think it is false. Fifteen percent will have nothing to do with the news altogether. Those from the Right are more likely to believe that the news is “false news,” but those from the Left tend to get overwhelmed, like the tender snowflakes that they are.
