Why Troubling News:

This article from Salon goes over how there's apparently a conspiratorial right-wing plot to overturn American democracy that supposedly stretches back decades. The bias is blatantly apparent and doesn't require further discussion. What does the require discussion is that an article like this can also be potentially damaging to democracy, as it can erode trust in elected officials and institutions. People won't trust the democratic process if they think it's been corrupted by some hard-right conspiracy. Ironically, this article sounds similar to hard-right conspiracy theories of a supposed left-wing "deep state" ruling the country.
