It has its drawbacks.
― Isaac Asimov
Democracy only works properly with good access to factual information and good education.
which is why in America, certain parties are proposing banning books and cutting funding to education. They want to make sure their base stays stupid enough to vote for them.
Also why billionaires and industrials bought out so many different media over the years.
