So when cable TV came along I saw that as a sign of hope. Today we’ve got a plethora of cable news channels, scores of internet news websites, legions of people reading news on social media. It’s not the news that matters – it’s hype. One day a politician on a roll says socialists winning Democratic primaries proves Democrats are now socialists. And Trump seeing an opportunity pours gas on the fire by saying Democrats aren’t really socialists – they’re communists.
