There's been a miserable decline in the standard of journalism even in papers/outlets which I have long respected - knee-jerk writing, "facts"/not-facts thrown about carelessly, nuance thrown out the window.. :( I do think subscribing is helpful, if you can find a journal/outlet worth supporting. The Conversation? But as well, we - I mean I - have to get up the gumption to at least write letters for public consumption. (I did manage a fairly long debate on radio, about twenty minutes, with a talk-show person who was peddling untruths. I found it pretty daunting; I hate conflict.)
