Local Women’s March groups need to unequivocally disavow Farrakhan in the media before the conservatives paint them as anti-Semites. That is simply the way it is.

I have no real opinion on this issue with Women’s marchers and Louis Farrakhan, but as I have said before, doing things to ward off attacks from fascists is futile. These are fascists. They will attack and act with malice whether you do the right thing or not.

I consider the US media to be complicit with this. The US media will follow the narrative given to it by conservatives without question - skepticism only applies to liberals. The solution to this is not to play defence against the narrative, but to present a more compelling narrative that the media then follows. Playing defence doesn’t work - just ask Al Franken. American liberals must start acting from the premise that the US media is not a level playing field.
