Our news habits are in transition. Fifteen years ago, we got almost all our information from a limited number of print and broadcast channels.

In each case, the cure is potentially worse than the disease. Kim Jong Un knows it, which is why he feels he can get away with escalation. What, then, is the alternative?

Footage emerged last week of masked ruffians beating a man as he writhed on the ground at Berkeley's campus. What had he done? The goons assumed, without evidence, that he was an alt-right supporter, or at least a Trump voter. (Anda Chu /San Jose Mercury News via AP, File)
