Fox? or one of the few republican controlled fake news stations? How about one of the handful of newspapers conglomerates? Or maybe radio.. yes.. oh wait, owned by 6 republican corporations, too.

How exactly would they fight this? Carrier pigeon? The Daily Show?

Or problem is NOT that the Democrats aren't fighting this, or getting the word out, it's more like the corporate media landscape is Republicans: giant sound system with 30 speakers. Democrats: duct tape over mouth, wrapped in cotton, stuck in a a dome of silence.

Clinton and Gore were right.. beyond ALL of this, the biggest problem the left has and will continue to have, is that of media fairness.
