Besides, why would you hitch your future to a dying industry? "There is a lot of commentary " "Oh, good for you. Look what you're walking into. You're going to be screaming into the void. You're going to be useless," said Murphy, a 21-year-old graduate student at the University of Maryland's journalism school. She is undeterred. And it's also why she's not surprised by the findings of a study this fall that documented negative attitudes toward the news media among 13- to 18-year-old Americans. The press rarely fares well in surveys of adults, but it's sobering to see the same disdain among people whose opinions about the world are still forming. Asked by the News…...

3+ week, 4+ day ago (742+ words) On the final day of California's special election on redistricting, President Donald Trump alleged the state's election system is "rigged." "It is absolutely true that there is fraud in California's elections," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt also said Tuesday. Leavitt said California's mail voting system is "ripe with fraud" and alleged that "fraudulent ballots (are) being mailed in" for undocumented residents and other people who are not allowed to vote. California does not allow noncitizens to vote in elections. Leavitt told reporters during her briefing that there are "countless examples" of this alleged rampant fraud that the White House could provide.
