We need to re-instate The Fairness Doctrine on ALL forms of media to prevent propaganda machines from this kind of cyber warfare brainwashing on vulnerable people who watch tv or the internet for hours and hours a day. Truth must prevail in order to have a successful democracy. And MONEY must take a backseat in politics and corporations/white supremacy as well. When we ratchet forward after all this travesty, we take All The People together this time.

Brainwashing is a strange form of [fascist] entertainment.

Indeed it is, but they claimed this years ago. Lying then and continuing to lie.
