The media is failing to report the truth about Trump, his closest advisors, and their plans for the country that are dangerous for our democracy. Trump just appointed Steve Bannon, an unabashed leader of the white nationalist movement and a domestic abuser, as his chief strategist, but you wouldn't know that from the headlines. USA Today called him a "loyalist." Wall Street Journal and Washington Post said he's an "outsider." CBS described him as a "former Goldman Sachs executive." It's irresponsible reporting like this that led to the election of a racist, serial sexual predator in the first place. In fact, these news outlets largely ignored women who came forward about being assaulted by Trump in the last weeks of the election. America needs a free, open, and truthful press now more than ever. Major news outlets need to do their job and stop covering up the truth about Trump.

There are too many potential issues of conflict of interest, bribery, manipulation of foreign policy and undermining of military interests to allow non-disclosure of business interests to Congress. In addition, family members of Trump (or any president's family) should be exempt from consideration for access to classified materials, just as they are prohibited from holding formal positions in the administration.

A majority of U.S. adults get their news from social media sources. However, there is a proliferation of debunked stories and hoaxes that get "liked" and "shared," and then continue to gain traction. Facebook can and should fact check the articles that circulate on its website. Facebook can simply add a badge to false reports, for example stating whether a shared article is a "Hoax," "Debunked" or "Satire." Even our President-Elect defended retweeting a debunked news story by stating "All I know is what's on the internet" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93fgU_WNDPo It's time for Facebook to let subscribers know the difference between the truth, satire and flat out lies.

The media chases advertising dollars, and those are dependent on viewership. If we unite to ignore the KKK parade, it will get less media coverage, which is the best way to hurt their cause.

We feel it is necessary for companies to write "palm oil" on their product labels and not the other 295 names which mean the same thing. Palm oil is connected to many shady operations, including child labor and poaching. Also, if you want to see the 295 names, they are here: http://www.palmoilinvestigations.org/names-for-palm-oil.html

Saving the Republic

We have a right to know he is not hiding something dishonest

Many citizens want to know why these documents remain hidden. I personally fear that Trump is in conflict with (and will continue to have) domestic and foreign conflicts of interest and which will imperil our nation's fiscal security and physical security.

Donald Trump has not been honest with the American people about his tax returns. Without that knowledge, there is no way for Americans to know if he has committed crimes which would keep him from assuming the office of the President.

Do you relish a cup of tea when you wake up in the morning? Did you know that the tea you are drinking could be produced by workers who suffer slavery-like conditions? Tea workers in Assam earn a meagre wage of 126 Rupees a day, which is less than 2 British pounds and lower than the minimum wage mandated by national law. In addition, they live in appalling conditions, with poor access to basic services like water, health and sanitation, which expose them and their families to malnutrition and preventable deaths. You can help to break this cycle! Bring digniTEA to those who bring you tea!

Our democracy functions best when we we have a strong, diverse set of sources for media. But runaway media consolidation threatens that, and puts power in the hands of a few corporate executives. That’s why we’re alarmed at this week’s news that AT&T wants to merge with Time Warner -- and it’s why we must immediately respond by showing our grassroots power to stop this merger. With media consolidation at an all-time high, we all pay the price with higher bills for fewer choices -- and media consolidation makes it harder for new and diverse talent and content producers to access the platforms they need. We can’t let this anti-consumer, anti-democracy deal go through. Add your name now to say NO to the monopolistic AT&T/Time Warner Merger.
