Every friend group has that one friend who bursts out of your chest screeching and then scurries off into the shadows. We all love her and would die for her.

the economic success of the U.S. is significantly built on the land grant universities and in particular their excellent agricultural science tradition.
Really important to stress that the Crown Jewels of the US higher education system were never the Ivies or elite SLACs (other countries have equivalents of these) but the well-funded, large, cheap, and excellently staffed public state university systems bringing high quality education to the masses.
One of the bragging rights that the US ed system had in the 20th century is that we didn't have education tracks. Essentially, any kid could go to a CC or state school & major in whatever they wanted to (obviously an oversimplification). I fear this aspect of the American dream is dying.

Ailes hatched his plan for right wing news while rubbing antennae with Nixon and Ehrlichman.
I can see how, at the time, people of good faith got conned. Was it hard to get out?

For those saying any of this is new, it's not. Journalism's history has been mostly inflammatory garbage - not unlike Fox News today.
Good journalism didn't just HAPPEN. Murrow did weekly celebrity interviews and then still had to fight to get 20 mins of hard news once a month out of CBS.

The White House Intervened on Behalf of Accused Sex Trafficker Andrew Tate During a Federal Investigation
Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

Not "young women." Not "barely legal." Children.
