Attempting to legislate notability will have unintentional consequences and is, ultimately, impossible.

Unfortunately, Pandora’s box cannot be shut. We’ve let politicians climb to a status above the laws they write.

I would pay a subscription to people tasked with informing the public on the activities of politicians in a non biased way.

They’re supposed to be called “the media.”

Profit and “the right thing” are not mutually exclusive.

The US is a Federal Republic.

Republic - a state in which supreme power is held by the people and their elected representatives, and which has an elected or nominated president rather than a monarch.

How can the people hold power and in turn make informed decisions on their elected representatives in less we know what they are doing?
