It is election season! It is easy to get fatigued during election season. With a corporate media incentivized to cause division, the banter and rhetoric associated with candidates from both sides of the isle can become exhausting. Combine this with the rise of social media and the algorithms that push users into echo chambers, it makes me long for the days of journalistic integrity and the FCC fairness doctrine. It appears that the fringe groups from the right and left are in control of their respective parties. Is there a path forward to sanity for our country? Can Americans realize that both sides of the isle are manipulating us? It seems to be the time for congress to step up with media reformation and possibly a legitimate third party to step forward and rein in this mess. Who will run on this platform? I will definitely be watching and praying.
