“Murdering meteorologists won’t stop hurricanes. I can’t believe I just had to type that.” — Michigan-based meteorologist Katie Nickolaou.

It’s so heartbreaking seeing the amount of disinformation being spread by elected officials and partisan agitators with lots of followers.

A healthy respect for the free press and the institution of journalism is absolutely crucial for a healthy democracy.
