WaPo went from winning a Pulitzer for documenting, quantifying, and contextualizing the American epidemic of racist and fatal police violence (for which they owe Wesley Lowery an enormous debt of gratitude) to the paper that hired the man who covered up such violence as mayor of Chicago.

The body of scientific literature quantifying the harm of misinformation and disinformation continues to grow.
There is just no denying that it is an existential threat to just about every area of life, especially when it comes from the government.
