How do you realistically suggest fixing this? Put yourself in the person's shoes that has to interact with them.

I think its a long and slow road to gaining trust back, there isn't really any way around it.

If they have paid their penalty to society and are productive members of this city they should be treated accordingly.

Seriously. Only things worth reading/watching for actual news are probably New York Times, Washington Post, NPR, Al Jazeera, BBC (though that's dropped a notch in recent years), Le Monde, Der Spiegel, and Southern Weekly (when the CCP isn't cracking down on them and forcing changes). Everything else is basically noise or, uh, infotainment.

The Guardian is pretty good too.

I would add the Economist to your list and the Wall Street Journal (but not the opinions section..it has been taken over by Fox News pundits when Murdoch purchased it).

I am a huge proponent of Mencken’s ideal that democracy is what people vote for and they should get it good and hard, but having been a mouse in the lab of Progressive governance during Dinkins, I would not wish the same on the current population, however misguided their intentions.

Nah, dog. Just know that the nypost is like reading a comic strip most of the time.
