We are all asked to pay for Republican sins...

It is not Democrats that hate their Party. It is not Democrats that are angry at their leaders. It is not Democrats that have given up on their Party. It is not Democrats that believe anybody is better than what we presently have in Washington. It is not Democrats that shut down our government. It is not Democrats that believe their leaders have lied to them about everything. It is not the Democrats, in a fit of rage, that went out and nominated someone unfit to be dogcatcher, let alone the President of the United States.

But it is Democrats and everyone else that must ride along on their anger train. It is all of us that must live with the results of an angry electorate. It is all of us that must live with the incompetence of a media that is unwilling or unable to tell the truth to the people.

And these same Republicans are hiding in the shadows, hoping their angry voters will take it all out on Hillary Clinton, and send them back to Washington. They pray that Republican voters will not wake up and realize exactly who they are angry at. Donald Trump is the best diversion they could hope for.

(FCC), introduced in 1949, that required the holders of broadcast licenses both to present controversial issues of public importance and to do so in a manner that was — in the Commission's view — honest, equitable, and balanced. The FCC eliminated the Doctrine in 1987, and in August 2011 the FCC formally removed the language that implemented the Doctrine.[1]
