To say legacy media is not built for this moment is a gross understatement. The people destroying this country are being treated with respect.
NPR Morning Edition had Steve Bannon on yesterday, and PBS News Hour has Chris Rufo on right now. What the fuck is wrong with you??? What possible reason is there to platform these lying assholes???
