We need to repeal citizens united. We need to bring back the fairness doctrine.

100%. Fairness doctrine returning would go a long way towards that.

I wish it was that easy. Unfortunately you have to go down as many rabbit holes to make the most sense of what’s best for you.

The fairness doctrine only applied to public broadcasts, so we would need something different for the modern age of media

Individual journalism is unfortunately dead. It’s prescriptive let the other person pick the questions. Just like msm news. They have to do and say what they are told.

To get anything meaningful, we should be helping each other wean ourselves off these profit-focused, corpo-owned governments and companies, (including places like Reddit,) and instead collaborating with one another in finding ways to create and utilize independent networks and tech to keep common folk well informed, connected, and secured, even if means downgrading a little.

Collecting a bunch of valuable information on organizing and action from different redditors over time, I created a post of suggestions HERE that's largely about fostering a foundation for community self-sustainability and resistance, but it also provides ideas for possible alternative tech and communication methods, which could be of some help in getting started ASAP.
