We all know if voting rights are passed it's the end of the Republican party because...

...a vast majority of Americans agree with the Democratic agenda.

The real problem is not the Republicans.

It's the media.

[DanieRains]

1. Billionaire Owned Media Who's Billionaires Don't Want Their Taxes Raised

And want to keep Republicans in power.

[edhopper]

2. Yes and no

The majority agree, they just don't always vote for people who support it.

[tecelote]

3. I agree. They vote on gut feelings rather than rationalized facts.

But, if the media accurately reported what we offer, how it would affect them, I'll bet we would gain a lot more acceptance.

[edhopper]

7. Probably

It's just depressing how people vote against themselves.
Look at Maine, big support for Dem agenda, sends back Collins. Just stupid.

4. Exactly!!! The media looks at their bottom line and could care less about the people or

country as long as they are making a good profit.

[tecelote]

5. Exactly!!!

6. Fairness Doctrine & Citizens United

Corporations have more power than the people.

Plus, Republicans stole the airwaves.

Now, we're paying the price.

9. Since they "installed" Reagan

the have been working at PIRATING the entire Federal and many state governments.......

We are at the threshold of a CORPORATE FACIST TYRANNY............

A perfect title for the past 40+ years would be: WHILE THE NATION SLEPT, with a subtitle of BEND OVER AMERICA......

11. I miss the fairness doctrine

It forced you to look at the opposing point of view to both hear and understand a different point of view. It was a lot easier to create a metric for context for everyone. We lost something important here.

18. Multiple media sources make

it more difficult. Not like when there were only 3 network TV stations and everyone heard basically the same thing. Now there are cable channels, websites, blogs. Hard to keep track of them all or to come to a general consensus from information made available or just made up from so many sources.

[PirateRo]

20. People need jobs

The difficulty argument doesn’t cut it. Rather, say it is inconvenient to power.

[TeamProg]

8. Repukes would rather cheat, steal, oppress, suppress voters than

actually working to come up with a platform that WILL WIN ENOUGH VOTES!


They're all for the wealthiest 5% - that's it.

[PirateRo]

10. Surely, you can't mean the corporate controlled liberal media, right? ;)

The situation cannot continue. We cannot move forward as a country. As it is, we have been running in place for more than 40 years.

It’s untenable, unacceptable and people need to pay a very serious for the consequences of failed dreams and ruined lives. Theft of the future must be a crime.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

12. The GOP is the party of voter suppression

The GOP can only win elections by cheating

[Fullduplexxx]

13. The one thing donnie got right ... the media is the enemy of the people

[bucolic_frolic]

14. Republicans would readily pass voting rights, quickly

if it were whites only. That would put their fingerprints on it.

[dlk]

15. Media bias toward Democrats often reads like gender bias

There are many similarities.

[Efilroft Sul]

16. The media are only as liberal as the corporations that own them.

[marieo1]

17. Right On

I have said this all along........the media is our problem. They don't even tell the truth, anything to make democrats look bad.

[Mr. Ected]

19. Human nature: many people can be easily influenced by temper-raising lies

This is a major psych-op and the American people are the test subjects.

Government claims to be in control but economic interests beyond its reach are at the wheel...and they know where they want to take us.
