This media thing has been going on since Reagan deregulated the industry and did away with the Fairness Doctrine. It has boded very well for the media owners, as their profits have soared with political advertising, rather than presenting both views equally without editorializing. No. Now, candidates must PAY to have their voices and messages heard, so the more money has a bigger and louder microphone. These things should have been fixed decades ago, and the fact that the Dems have not done that yet is a testament to how far they have moved from their base, and grown fat and complacent. The new generation of Senators and Congress persons is where the future will be, IF we are not all arrested, sent off to concentration camps or the gas chambers. Because seriously, it is not so easy to 'fight fight fight' when you are stripped of your possessions, maybe even your clothing, shoved into cattle cars, and headed off to be slave labor somewhere in inhumane conditions.
