Our anger at the media needs to turn to fury, and now.

Everything's at stake.

They aided Donald Trump from DAY ONE.

That's just fact.

1/

They did it in dozens, hundreds of ways and I remember all of them.

One of the most important ways? the way they treated Clinton & Dems. 2/

They treated every rumor as fact. They twisted every fact until it was ugly and never relented.

The media ensured '16 was a horserace. 3/

They needed a horserace to sell advertising space. Otherwise it would have been a blowout.

They're doing it again.

We can't let them. 4/

Their current efforts could,

1. Impede Mueller's investigation

2. Cost Democrats 2018

This is a very dangerous game. Still they play. 5/

Republican internal polling on Clinton must have shifted dramatically in recent weeks, because the GOP's collective focus has reshifted. 6/

Remember Trump introducing the idea that Clinton might run again in '20 out of the blue?

This could at least partially account for that. 7/

Those who consider themselves to be moderate to liberal in their thinking are the majority. We have power.

It's all about $$$. 8/

It is our futures they are playing with & we must reclaim it. Our fury must be actualized & we must orient it toward the editors, producers,

and owners of content who exert influence over public opinion. We must also target companies that buy advertising space and remind them. 10/

We must remind them that the majority represents lots of $$$ making/losing potential.

If they/then we... must become more than a threat.11/

I see no other way to win this war, stop this cycle.

The right wing has been steering the narrative path since at least Reagan. 12/

That's why whole embassies can be bombed causing many American deaths and there will be no questions of adminstrative accounabilty.

13/

That's why Bush and the Republican Party can delete millions of emails with no consequences while @HillaryClinton will be sent to the chair.

It's why the Kochs can invite hundreds of Republican politicians, donors, and content producers to summit & dictate to them w/o fear. 15/

It's why the Bush admin got away with inventing facts, starting a war and destroying our economy.

They stonecold got away with it. 16/

And it's why Trump is still in office.

And it's why Trump is still in office.

And it's why Trump is still in office.

I don't have a cure.

I can only make this diagnosis based on my knowledge and experience.

But I do have an idea. And it's this:

18/

We must make a collective effort and to be effective we must ask everyone we know to take part. We must ask celebrities and politicians. 19/

Colleagues. Friends and family.

Everyone.

We must focus our attention on a particular content producer & then completely unplug them. 20/

Unsubscribe. Defriend. Unfollow. Block. Advertising boycotts.

We must show we can affect their bottom line or nothing will change.

21/

This might be our only hope.

But hope is all we need.
