21. The news

The American people need to demand that the news provides information, from both or all sides. The corporations will do what makes them money. Currently that means sensationalism and partisan attacks. If they didn't do what made them the most money, shareholders would sue.

So that means that people have to demand news be news. It's going to be a tough road - people will have a hard time changing, if they even admit that it's necessary.

Fox viewership is dropping. That's a good sign, and it would be to the dem's benifit to point out why this is happening.
