This is so insane- why are these media outlets caving? I can’t believe they don’t have enough balls to stand up for what’s right! We need to keep speaking loudly every minute of the day!

The "free press" isn't free when it's owned by giant corporations and mega-rich individuals. The U.S. Constitution lays out three branches of government. It never mentions the unelected, unaccountable fourth branch: big money. From the Reagan administration onward, it's been eating the other three branches alive, gradually at first but with increasing speed until -- well, here we are.

CBS is regulated. AI: To file a complaint with the FCC, you can use the online complaint form on fcc.gov/complaints. Choose the category that best describes your issue (TV, phone, Internet, radio, emergency communications, or access for people with disabilities). You can also call 888-CALL-FCC (225-5322) to speak with an agent.

If we all push hard enough, Trump will cave. He's afraid of his own shadow!

Trump's puppeteers make the decisions, and they're the ones to fear. They hold Trump up like Weekend at Bernie's.

The threat is real. Not defending them but it has got to be bad - really bad. Trump is a tyrant. We know this.

As if they don't have enough money in the first place. This is why the only thing that can save us is grassroots movements and honest media, like Midas.
