Our news venues are 78% controlled by these rich greedy oligarchy. If you have free speech tv, Tom Hartman will give you the documented truth along with Stephanie Miller. MSNBC is the only channel that might give you that information. There are some political fact applications that you can contact on line as well. But do your job as a voter and research it. Sometimes just putting in the name of the process on line will bring the info. 5 minutes is all it takes to find the truth. Do not accept lies blindly, research the info.

The Sleight of hand the Right pulled off by convincing people that the media was liberal was largely responsible for the downfall of our Democracy.

Forget even the normalization of Trump's fascism. Think about how AOC has been portrayed in the media. AOC is probably left of where I am, but she's not some wacko Communist like the media has portrayed her for years. Her ideas are a lot closer to the middle than Trump's are, but she has never gotten a fair shake IMO.
