That is a wonderful video, Dick Bachert. Thanks for posting that.
After 4 years at University of Colorado at Boulder, our oldest daughter voted liberal for the last 20 years. But she must have heard a little about the difference between Trump and Hillary because she is going to vote for a Republican for the first time in her life. Thank God!

Thanks for the ping.
To be clear, you think a national fairness board will fix this issue?
I have suggested an elected board of governors to regulate the staffing of media services, but that is just a suggestion.
What I do know is that the situation we have now is intolerable. We literally have one party control over all significant information delivery systems in this nation. It is a threat to the well being of the nation, and it needs to be dealt with somehow.
I solicit any idea that might effectively give the 40% of conservatives in this nation an equal voice and influence with that of the 30% (or less) of the Liberals in this nation.
As Benjamin Franklin said:
"Printers are educated in the Belief, that when Men differ in Opinion, both Sides ought equally to have the Advantage of being heard by the Publick; and that when Truth and Error have fair Play, the former is always an overmatch for the latter."
We need to repair the system so that conservatives have the same advantage of "being heard by the publick" as liberals already have.
This is the entire point of freedom of speech; To allow both sides to speak to the public so that the public can weigh both sets of arguments and thereby make prudent decisions.
Bring the Right Wing Into the Mainstream Media
"Let me suggest a better strategy. Liberal journalists who want to drain the fever swamps should not be pointing the finger at Republican politicians. If they want to get people out of the swamp, theyll have to make room in the castle.The media is overwhelmingly liberal. It tends to mirror the left-to-center-left spectrum of the social class from which most journalists are drawn. That affects coverage, which right-wing readers pick up on.
Yes, liberal journalists, Im saying that the media is biased, and I know you dont see any evidence of that, because thats how bias works: You dont notice it when you share the bias. No, my loonier Republican readers, I am not confirming your belief that journalists deliberately slant their coverage to achieve political ends or even just to provoke you.
Rather, the bias operates in what topics people choose to cover, how strenuously they interrogate facts, how skeptical they are of various claims about the future. As social psychologist Jonathan Haidt says, when we see a fact or a claim that comports with our ideological beliefs, we ask: Can I believe this? When we see one that conflicts with it, we ask: Must I believe this?"
