The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

As someone who actually is old enough to remember the Reagan era, I’m not sure it deserves that much nostalgia.

I'm just hoping it was an /s-less sarcasm. I agree with the point through. Our attention span are shorter and the world always appears to be ending, but I think a lot of that is that along with all the lies and manipulation, we're actually seeing more of 'how the sausage is made' than ever before.

As disastrous as smartphones have been, it's never been easier to collect and instantly share evidence.

This, of course, is not to say that I think we're not supremely screwed right now, and there's still a lot happening in the shadows, but I feel there's definitely an increase of visibility.
