@lovelylovely Lmao. The facts are kind of harsh. Trump rallies are poorly attended with just a small fraction of seats in the venue filled. Kamala's rallies fill the venue with 15,000 more outside wishing they could get in.
Of course, the news media don't cover this little difference.
The bias in U.S. media is grotesque and should prompt future administrations to restore the rules that governed the media that we had back when I was young.
@shuttersparks @lovelylovely The Fairness Doctrine was shredded and chucked by Republicans when cable came into being. Cable is unregulated.
The FCC has no jurisdiction.
It allowed hateful spew from pastors, politicians, and pundits like Rush Limbaugh to go unchecked and uncensored. That's how we got here. Decades of brainwashing stupid Christians with hateful rhetoric and lies. Easy to manipulate.
@originlbookgirl @lovelylovely Exactly. But we can't put 100% of the blame on Republicans. Clinton signed the bills that got rid of the guardrails, and also (not to change the subject) the Glass-Steagall Act. I would like to think it was naivete, but I don't know one way or the other.
It wouldn't be the first time that a president was manipulated by his advisors. It happened to Eisenhower, too.
@shuttersparks @lovelylovely Bill is a dingbat. I was never a fan. The people in that administration dropped the ball and Americans were too complacent because things were good. There's never perfection. Deregulation is primarily a Republican policy though. Doesn't matter what it is. Regulations and oversight mean it's harder for them to crime. That's why they want "small government" aka no regulations.
