Televising hours of an empty podium, waiting for Trump to speak, while ignoring ongoing speeches from Sanders, Clinton and others. Asking softball questions. Not following up with questions. Not confronting him with facts. If it was only FOX, he wouldn't have been "elected". The fate of our democracy is in the balance this coming year. I am not religious, but I may start praying. I am hopeful for the Women's Marches. That may be our finger on the balance.
