As for the issue of "America's reality distortion machine," it reminds me of a quote from a former Facebook engineer. It's included in a book I'm currently reading by former NY Times reporter Max Fisher ("The Chaos Machine: The Inside Story of How Social Media Rewired Our Minds and Our World"):

"One reason I think it is particularly important for us to talk about [the impact of social media] now is that we may be the last generation that can remember life before."

Seems like people of a certain age (you know, like you and me, Terry!) can still provide essential perspective to the current information (and misinformation) deluge!
