Sunday

the media is determined to either do false equivalency or just outright pull for drumpf all together.

so you have nonsense happening like drumpf doing 1000 things that get put on one side of the scale, and Biden or harris doing one thing that the media decides to portray in a negative light, but they make that one thing weigh as much as the 1000 things drumpf did, to "even out" the scales of coverage.

the question for us is... how do we get a fair shake? How do we combat the right wing dominating all forms of media?
