along with "PRESS ATTENTION (esp. broadcast media) when they challenge and counter Trump's lies which they're not doing nearly enough of."
And I posted a whole bunch of headlines, including broadcast media coverage of them DOING WHAT IS RIGHT AND TELLING THE PEOPLE THE TRUTH, and challenging and counter Trump's lies.
You then got upset and snippy at being contradicted about how ineffective and sorry you think Democrats in office are with the media, and then demanded to know how "vast swaths of Americans" "who don't usually read" mainstream news sources or watch the news are going to know about how Democrats are DOING WHAT IS RIGHT AND TELLING THE PEOPLE THE TRUTH.
