32. I agree 100% that the media needs to be reined in

and the fairness doctrine needs to be reinstituted already. But its gonna be hard to do that. I think Hillary needs to make an address about the media's treatment of them over the years and call out the lies they've peddled over 23 years. That I think would force the media to try to make nice. She also needs a War Room website like Obama had in 2008. Obama fought back and didn't ignore what was out there, tho I do think reporters were nicer to him than Bill and Hillary. Luckily, I think MSNBC and Washington Post, both who have recently debunked the Perot-lie, the longest lasting one against them and one meant to delegitimize them, can help lead the charge. Hillary could also enlist Obama to help out too, especially given how she's standing by him, which given his middling, but not bad approvals, is a gamble.
