Jim Acosta has led the way for mainstream journalists. He's come out and slammed this nonsense and several other journalists have (thank God) followed suit. I don't expect journalists to be saviors but I do expect them to be pro-democracy.

The journalism, the OPs in our major papers, cable, TV, radio etc., play a part. But I think you're right--we need our representatives to get on message and start pounding this day after day after day. We need to be as (if not more) consistent than the Republicans with their daily torrent of lies.

It is urgent. Because losing is not an option.
