5. I think we all need to make sure all of them have to own this!

The big donors/advertisers thought they could control Trump and he would do what they wanted. He did give them the big tax cut they dream of. Republicans did their bidding and signed off on the Trump train. RW media did their part to create the us v. them, politics as a team sport, so their duped voters would support anything as long as it owned the Libs.

We need to make sure the RW media owns this and push for truth in News. No more saying, “We are ENTERTAINMENT” not news, when they call themselves “Fox NEWS”. That is a deceptive trade practice. No more court arguments saying, “No reasonable person believes Tucker Carlson.” Their viewers do believe that shite even if they are not reasonable. I suggest everyone go on YouTube and watch George Carlin’s “It’s a big club, but you’re not in it.” He described way back then what is going on.

To fix this crap we need to get the money out of politics and the truth in the news. Unless and until we do we will get the same dysfunctional crap we have been getting. The big donors are also the big advertisers. They control the politicians and the media (messaging) which in turn controls much of the brainwashed masses. This is why you won’t hear about this on the MSM. They are the recipients of all of that campaign money.

Fight for Publicly Funded Elections and truth in the news or we will lose everything!
