‘Take responsibility to pay attention’

We are all concerned about the spread of misinformation and spins on the truth. Most people acknowledge that this problem escalated around the time that Trump took office.

When Jim Dickson takes on that issue but places a Democratic President at the root of the problem, I must disagree. I also disagree with his assertion that all of our elected officials take office as a result of telling lies. That kind of cynicism does great harm to our system of government and offers nothing constructive in return.

I urge (Dickson) and anyone who shares his cynicism to make it their individual responsibility to sift through various sources of news and information and consider for themselves what makes sense and what doesn’t. When citizens take responsibility to pay attention and consider for ourselves what we see/hear/read, we can still recognize lies and we can still vote for the best candidates.
