Where is the media coverage of what the republicans are planning?

I know I'm asking too much of the "media" and certainly they want to keep a lot of their plans secret but there once was this thing called investigative journalism, and there still is in some holdouts. All I hear is Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump and I'm sick of it. He's terrible but as I've said he's a distraction right now. I want to know what bills they are planning, what their grand deregulation plans might look like. What are congress and the senate, Mike Pence, and Michael Flynn plotting. I know it's too early to say for sure but I certainly would rather hear some digging done rather than hearing about the Orange Shit's latest 4am tweet.

We need to be vocal, and we need to pressure all the Democratic representatives and organizations to take out ads everywhere to say what the Rs are doing.

The Republicans won. They own all the media now and control the talking points, and denounce anyone who opposes these talking points as being unpatriotic. If we had a liberal media, we would be hearing more about the FADA, which is some pretty scary shit they are proposing.

Tweet and email msm news orgs when you are watching with your objection to their content. If enough of us did this consistently it may help. Just tonight on ABC national news they spent twice as time decrying a pop stars technical glitch than they spent on the russian hack.
