No Mr. Graves I must disagree with your heading to this editorial. Mainstream  media has not become more important now because of the political arrival of the "make America great again movement" puppeteer  Mr. Donald J. Trump. It has never lost its importance rather mmainstream media has been misused  like most necessary tools of any trade by  trades people chasing the all mighty advertising  dollar having chosen  entertainment over knowledge required by citizens of a self governed nation.

We  the complacent citizens of the silent majority of this self governed nation have a flaw a possible fatal flaw, we do not value things until threatened with loss. We have to find our voice! Without knowledge no voice. Simply put loss of knowledge loss of self governed nation.
