Charlie Cook: “In this new world order of unfiltered or make-believe news, the wall between real journalism and fake journalism is becoming blurred and sometimes almost invisible. When people doubt the credibility of legitimate journalism, people are robbed of the facts that underlie our entire democratic process. Elections depend on citizens making informed decisions, but that’s impossible if raw sewage is polluting their news feed.”
