“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. FEMA is not out of money, it’s not confiscating damaged property, and it’s not biased for against any ethnic groups or political affiliations.

My mother-in-law invited me to try out the 60- year-old tape machine that belonged to my father-in-law.

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