I've decided to find other sources other than MSM. MSNBC was my primary choice especially Rachel Maddow. But even her reporting just left me flat and angry. MSM seems to dance around the issues where I see my Democracy being attacked. Rachel poised the question "what do we do" then went to interviewing Klobuchar. I'm looking for what do to fight back, scared shitless our freedoms are going away forever.

Thank you for this article, Eric. No group of voters wants to feel taken for granted, and the same news sources that you speak of behave as though they are shocked that the black vote gets taken for granted, when in fact they perpetuate the very practice. Cheers!

As a tangential matter that I would argue is related to this topic, we need to give serious contemplation on the negative impacts of using newsrooms as a profit source.

I believe there is an increased fear of erasure and that is what causes the vitriol, meanness and vile way that some white people treat black people. This is happening in the workplace where we work, the news we consume, the places we visit, etc. When you think your majority is going away, p.s. it is, and that you may be treated how you treated others, well. As a person of color, my goal is to be equal, not take from or punish just be equal. I do not think that is too much to fight for. L
