Are citizens, voters and activists more engaged with the political environment today,

than they were in the past?

If AG Barr tries to pull the same crap with the Mueller report as he did with Iran Contra findings during Reagan - hid them from the public - we will what?

Americans are less informed than they ever were. 90 percent of what I hear from people I know is not true but has been reported by Fox or one of the crazy internet sites out there. There is misinformation coming from all directions these days so nothing can be seen as honest well reported news.

I think Americans think they are better informed, but in fact they are very poorly informed.
