Politics isn’t toxic, it’s adversarial. The way politics is covered in the press is toxic. Media gatekeepers only allow the poison to fill the streams from which we gather. Break up the monopolies. Force them to divest. Make news local. Local papers always had the feel of their beat, their town, city, state, and they also reported national/global events. Media giants feed us rage bait and watch us destroy ourselves. Free the Press from the chokehold of corporate overlords.
