This seems like a pretty good programming concept. Could such a thing be made profitable? How could you get progressive billionaires to underwrite some of this?

Conservative rich people are funding and supporting right-wing media all over the place. Progressive rich people are focusing on clean water and vaccinating children in Africa. This is a noble cause, but this election has shown that the focus must return to home soil for a while.

A major effort by all progressives to balance out the public information space and chip away at this cesspool of disinformation should be the next priority.
