This election was another Murdoch and Sinclair and Money victory. It is not a time for a thousand reasons of crying denialists' of cultural minutia. We have a split news universe and out-of-control campaign financing like the framers could never have anticipated when planning the freedoms of the First Amendment and including its Press clause. Half this country is living in a fabricated facts reality, their news is funneled, filtered and bent by rich old farts and they are dumbassed sheep who eat it up.
We must regulate who can own mass media and how much of it, including this type of platform. Then, voter testing and public campaign financing, the former can begin in any State next year, the latter needs a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United.

Please be kind. Be productive. ATTACK THE ARGUMENT NOT THE PERSON. If you are incapable of this please move-on and check your emotions. Remember: the First Amendment is FIRST because we will never grow to be a better nation IF FREE OPINION IS NOT ALLOWED! This is why we really love the United States.
