American media is gaslighting the people with russian talking points and acting as though it's fine.

They talk about what republicans are saying like it’s reasonable, when it is nothing more than Russian propaganda aimed at ripping off another election for the illegitimate mobster occupying the Oval Office doing the bidding of Vladimir Putin.

Nothing seems to make a dent in Trump's base anymore and I think he's poised to steal the other 8-10% of the vote he needs for re-election.

Its about keeping power in the hands of those who hold it. Otherwise why didn't Clinton OR Obama bring back the fairness doctrine? With the fairness doctrine, Fox news and Rush limbaugh would most likely not even exist
