7. Should have been on this way before now

This should have been a priority from the start.

Republicans played this masterfully to fully erode the media

--starting in the 1980s, scream and yell "Liberal bias" whenever story/information comes out hostile to Republican narrative
--Write books on subject, employ right wing think tanks to foster a narrative
--Create right wing media to continue to blather about left wing media (Limbaugh, etc)
--Find right wing oligarch to create "fair and balanced" news, or otherwise right-wing propaganda
--Allow media consolidation, reducing variance in views. "View" is the key, gone is actual news information, rather "perspective" and click bait shit
--Allow cross ownership. Let capitalist oligarchs own not only their own companies, but then the media centers as well, the media thus becomes a form of advertisement for company. Where will that end up?
--Install authoritarian into white house to continue the purge of "Liberal media". Media even considered benign (CNN) will be neutralized.
--Ultimate goal is elimination of any perceived Liberal bias in any part of our society. Media, schools, companies, Youtube, you name it.

It won't be easy to undo this bullshit.
