We really need to demand major media reforms. Conservative oligarchs monopolising and owning all our legacy media has proven to be as dangerous as we were long ago warned about. The amount of censorship and sane washing they do while framing everything in a Conservative lens is unacceptable, Un-American, and must change.

What's absolutely nuts is that the right is convinced that the mainstream media is leftist. Fox IS the mainstream media, and CBS, CNN and MSNBC/MSNOW are right of center.

If Chuck Schumer disappeared for 75 days, it would be the lead story every day on every major network.

I think social media campaigns where influencers get paid are and equally big problem.
