The MSM gives far too much time and attention to conservatives and various outliers (or should that be out-liars?) who represent an ever dwindling demographic--mostly white men locked into a false nostalgia for an American that never really existed, based either on white supremacy or a conservative vision of "family values" and "Christian evangelism" that are anti-democratic and becoming ever more toxic to the ideal of a secular, inclusive body politic. It's like the Senate, structured so as to give this demographic way more power, prestige and visibility than their numbers warrant.

There are so many talented, insightful people out in the world who would be so much better at reporting and commenting on the world as it is.
