Fake both siderism & Fake false equivalency now rule our world.

Nothing can be addressed as it happens.
The gop has bought in lock, stock, and barrel to never apologize or take blame for ANYTHING.
They only divert to another topic or subject and then claim moral relativism.
Most mainstream media members still allow it or don’t challenge it effectively.
Facts don’t matter, folks.
We are in a post factual world.

Vote !!!!!! It’s all we have left.

A cable news 24/7 network that delivers DU type reporting and analysis, to counter Fox lies and the endless unchallenged lies on M$M?

Its not a fair fight.

They claim that Fox is the only unbiased source of news that shows both sides.
Yep, they’ve actually told me that with a straight face.

Fox News is running the Republican party the way they want to run it (spewing their hate and their lies) and now they appear to have their highest viewer and voter participation ever.

Wonder what it would be like if there was a DU type, 24/7 platform on cable news to run the Democratic Party from? Wonder how many more voters we might take in? How many more we could remove the vail of ignorance from? Give people a source for some raw truth about what is happening to their lives instead of going through their daily existence clueless while Republicans are looting them.
