The decline of American democracy won't be televised
Professor Huq, featured in the video, writes on Democratic Backsliding in the US and abroad in greater depth: This is how democratic backsliding begins What does it look like? Maybe a health care bill being crafted in total secrecy, rammed through without public hearings or scrutiny? Finally we get to see it- The Senate GOP health bill in one sentence: poor people pay more for worse insurance Plan is to pass it before the July 4 recess, so senators don't have to confront their constituents beforehand. Democratic backsliding, ftw.

Sorry. I'm bored now.
I invite you, and everyone, to review the thread. It speaks for itself.
It begins with you linking to Think Progress to prove a point about hard news, then finishes with you stating that "they don't pretend to report hard news." It begins with you stating ] "CNN is not fake news", followed by, "they publish fake news stories."
Have a nice evening. I'm done.
