Hopefully, this can be picked up to some degree by social media around the world. Because the present lack of investigative journalism because of the economic collapse of so many newspapers around the world caused by the Internet and people expecting all news to be free, causes reporters not to be paid, laid off and often fired, so corruption worldwide is increasing in alarming ways in all free countries. In countries not free corruption is much worse. But, now in free countries corruption, without investigative journalism can only increase.
So, this could end up causing directly or indirectly the collapse of all modern day democracies directly through corruption and nepotism worldwide.
Without a free press with people paid to investigate problems and with whistle blowers often punished for sharing the truth worldwide now, corruption of all kinds both in democracies and other forms of government can only increase exponentially from now on.
So somehow, possibly through social media reporting, investigative journalism can act as a check against corruption worldwide somehow.
I try here for example, through critical thinking, to explain many events worldwide through the eyes of someone who has studied world politics since I was about 4 years old while watching the first thing I ever watched on a black and white TV, the Republican Convention of 1952. My grandfather bought a television so that he and my grandmother and my father and I and my mother and my mother's mother could watch General Eisenhower of World War II be nominated and later elected president of the United States of America. President Eisenhower built the nationwide superhighway system so people could evacuate large cities quickly during a nuclear attack so more millions might survive if we had any notice at all before hand.
