From me: Networks need to be prepared to handle the RNC as a major political and medical disinformation event. Trump’s messaging on the rigged election and miracle coronavirus cures are dangerous to our health and democracy.

It remains to see, if they will do so.

3. The networks Need Rapid Response FACT CHECKERS Rt! TY!

4. Networks need bright red or flashing words across the bottom of screens saying "False."

Most would not use the word “lies,” which is what will come from most of the speakers. I wonder whose music they’ll use without permission.

6. Wishful Thinking

The best way to counter propaganda is not take the cash from sponsors to broadcast it. That’s where the problem is—some companies pay money to have commercials next to propaganda.

But since networks refuse to do that. Even more, they can’t refuse the money, they’re commercial networks. That’s what they do, sell advertisement. That’s all. Sell advertisement.

So they must go where the money is.

Commercial networks can’t oppose propaganda per se, but Democrats can. And having the Democratic convention first, entertaining, factual, powerful, and hopeful is the best antidote to the upcoming RNC propaganda show.

Republicans are defeated before they even take the stage. Watch. Or better yet, don’t watch. Just look at the infighting that emerges by the end of the shitshow. Now that’s something worth popping popcorn for.
