Underground railroad for ideas
Create a union of people who want accurate information that isn't Republican or Democratic or in a red state or blue.

We need an "underground railroad" for facts and ideas.

Maybe a new editorial product from the Washington Post or NY Times?

If we could crack that nut, we could create a union of people who want accurate information that isn't Republican or Democratic or in a red state or blue.

We may disagree on policy but we agree on basing our thinking on facts and intelligence. The scientific method. There still are plenty of us. And we have the tools to do it. 

Update -- libraries?

Maybe this is something librarians can help with? They're distributed all around the country, and they certainly believe in these principles.

The more I think about it, the better I like libraries being the focal point for a people's news system. Even better, have students staff it. Keep an eye on what's going on in your community, and let us know what you see. I started a student newspaper when I was in high school (many many years ago!) and I remember it can be done, and it's a lot of fun. And you certainly learn a lot.
