NEWS: Garbage in, garbage out

| May 8, 2024 1:00 AM

As a lifelong resident of Coeur d’Alene, I think I speak for many when I say, I wish I could flip back the calendar a decade or two. A time when people held doors for each other, visited in line at the DMV and made their kids mow the lawn. We held our politics closer to our heart and managed family dinners where we had differences of opinion. I could go on and on.

With local elections coming up on May 21, there’s a lot of mudslinging and views being published. Depending on your comfort level with technology, you may be getting the majority of your news from the local paper, major TV networks like CNN, Fox News or MSNBC. You might be on X (FKA Twitter), Facebook or listening to the various national voices through Spotify or Apple podcasts. The options are endless for information. At the end of the day, we’re still neighbors.
