It’s actually worse than just a dishonest media. Once wealth redistribution becomes an option, there are just too many shameless voters who are OK with taking other people’s hard earned money, via the IRS.
The solution is not just an honest media - the solution is a voting system based on property. After all, we are mostly voting on how to spend tax money - so shouldn’t the people paying taxes have more say in how to spend it than those who pay no taxes?
Every campaign season billions of dollars are “gifted” to the media.
Do you think that the media will kill that goose?

That's the way it used to be.
It also used to be one vote per household. Husbands voting for the household is seen in retrospect as suppression of women, but that was not the intent.
The intent was to give property owners a say in the government. One vote per household was enough, and it was the man who happened to cast the vote on behalf of the family.
Just like in my household, it’s the man who takes the trash down to the curb, sets and empties the mouse traps, fixes the plumbing and changes flat tires. My wife doesn’t like to do that stuff and there are lots of things I don’t like to do that she handles.
