Dear MoJo Reader,
Have you been following the news less? A lot of people have, and that can be good, but it can also spell trouble for those of us in the news business. We're about to find out, because Mother Jones has a $350,000 fundraising goal right now. In "Slow News Is Good News," I try to reset after several chaotic years and make a longer-lasting case for why our nonprofit journalism matters. I hope you'll read it and that you'll pitch in if you can.

CNN, which is the target of a boycott by the Trump administration, turned down an opportunity to have Kellyanne Conway on its Sunday show:
Why did CNN do this? If it’s just pique over being denied access to Pence, then boo. If it’s because Conway is such a serial liar that no self-respecting news outlet should give her air time, then yay. But which is it?
