re: #54 jaunte

No, when Trump is gone the next series of actions we take need to hold media accountable. They are a HUGE part of how we got here and continue to leave out key details to inform the public. I’m not just talking about congressional actions, the public needs to keep demanding better, protesting, responding in every way possible to their ridiculous bullshit, letters, calls, emails, in huge numbers. I do think that at some point there needs to be a separation of news from infotainment and if you call yourselves a news outlet, print, online, on tv or cable or whatever, then there are standards you have to meet. So far the media has suffered as many consequences as Trump has. Rewrite the Fairness Doctrine to include the updates in how we communicate. If right wingers complain, too bad. Fox can still be on, it just can no longer call itself news or even a news like substance. Real journalism, mostly via newspapers has suffered a lot, even with the internet, but what passes for actual news is pretty much anything but.
