I know how old this makes me sound, but I miss reading a good, competently made newspaper. There was just something about getting the paper every day and going through the different sections (news, sports, opinon/editorial, local news, comics, etc.) that was a good way to start your day while you ate breakfast. Those days are long gone, though, as newspapers are basically dinosaurs at this point. Most of them are just shadows of their former selves, and I doubt that most of them will survive for much longer, although the NY Times and a few other larger ones might survive in some form.
 
While often overlooked Local News is one of the toughest losses . In her last years Mom felt completely disconnected from her community as there was no local paper-or none that covered anything anyway. From City Council, to Obits-no news
 
Orban may be gone, but this is exactly the type of thing his government did to try and drive LGBTQ people back into the closet in Hungary. Pretty much just ban them from even being seen on Hungarian television, movies, etc. Because, as we all know, if you don't see gay or lesbian or transgender people on TV or the internet or in movies then they don't exist. Attacking and suppressing the LGBTQ community in Hungary was a major part of Orban's political party platform, and many Republicans have been copying what he did there and trying to bring it here.
