2. This is why we need to get the Dems to reinstate the Fairness Doctrine
NOW, and start dismantling the HUGE media conglomerates that have taken over our air waves.

And we need some rulings in the FCC that DEFINE what is news and what is pure propaganda, so that the American people, once again, have access to the critical information that affects ALL of us.

The repervlikins PURPOSELY dismantled the Fairness Doctrine to consolidate the media under their own corporate roof, and it's time to get the media back into the business of reporting news, not propaganda.

To have a Democracy that works, you really need 3 things:

1) To have all the votes of the people counted accurately and transparently.

2) To have freedom of the press, to keep an eye on what public officials are doing, and to QUESTION and EXPOSE what they are doing.

3) To have a middle class. Democracy does not work in a 2 class system, because you end up with the rulers and the slaves, and that's about it.

The repervlikins have managed to disembowel Democracy by destroying ALL THREE of the requirements.
