There are literally not enough journalists employed in the US to cover the bad shit that is happening right now. We are now going to experience the social consequences of a weakened news industry--which are the same as the benefits of a weakened news industry, to those who weakened it.

The White House has rescinded the memo on freezing federal grants and loans—but don’t be fooled. The federal funding freeze itself is still their plan. The only reason this rollback happened is because of public outcry from YOU! We must keep the pressure on.
