BREAKING: CNN's Jim Acosta just called Fox News, Trump's "MAGAphone".
The perfection of this statement is almost too much to bare.
Thank you @Acosta !

(65,289 posts)They get lied to constantly, ignored when convenient, and called enemies of the people when they push back to get some semblance of truth.
There are not enough of those like Jim who's pushing back hard.

(3,425 posts)Yesterday, I was driving through rural Oregon (Trump Country) and stopped at a truck stop for fuel and a burger. In the restaurant, I saw the typical big screen TV hanging on the wall with the talking heads. MUCH to my amazement, it was Nichole Wallace on MSNBC working the latest kids-in-jail story. Lots of folks watching.
There is hope if FOX NEWS has not poisoned every public screen.
Celebrate the small wins.😊

Use your voice! Speak up! Be polite about it but FOR PETES SAKE speak up! Youre a customer whose money and patronage they may lose if they ignore you.
SPEAK UP about it. Ask to have the channel changed. And if its some place where the remote is sitting on the counter or coffee table, change the channel yourself!
If youre the only one there, great! If not, and youre in a red area, switch it to sports or some cooking show. That way you dont risk getting into confrontations, particularly if there are more men in the room than women. The sports option takes all that away.
