Ruth, what is not understandable to me is why this topic isn’t completely explored in the media! MSNBC does more, but it seems to me that most (print, tv & radio) coverage attempts to straddle the fence. I think that’s called “fair & balanced!” Now, that has a familiar ring to it, doesn’t it? Thanks for your enlightening post!

The political media in America has been downplaying the role of women in elections for years and now, their critical role in crushing MAGA. It's just how they do it.

Yes, Nina. And thank you for your recent piece on FOX as a mortal opponent to our democracy. The political media in America is catastrophically failing to meet the moment and the threat posed by a fascist Republican party. The Media and Democracy Project ("MAD Democracy") - of which I'm a co-founder - is committed to calling this out and demanding media that informs.

Not fair, not balanced!

Are you familiar with this name: John Malone. Read he’s behind CNN’s recent move to the middle, trying to show both sides! For me, there's only one real side! Sure not right wing zealots!

Giving a fair and balanced platform for fascists is like asking a psychopath for their opinion, because we need to be fair and balanced.
