influence of legacy media, where repubicans have had a stranglehold, is dwindling. But we aren't taking advantage of this. Obama dominated it, but since then repubicans have far surpassed us.

We need bot farms and "influencers" to compete with their bot farms and bot influencers. People say this is dishonest but it absolutely doesn't need to be. Where they use it to lie, we can use it to tell the truth.

We have always wondered how they present completely unified messages within minutes of something happening. We learned last week that it's nothing magic. It's just text chains.

Social media is the key, and we better turn it soon, or we'll lose that media market like we have all the others.
