I keep hearing this statement, or story or something, that the media wanted Cheeto to be President because it would be good for ratings. I miss some of this stuff because I don't watch.

Wouldn't it be fairly easy to make sure they don't get those ratings? Any chance we could somehow send a message to the greedy that we are not interested in watching this shit show?

Boycott teevee? Turn off corporate teevee news?

Someone with good skills could make a viral video that shows how they put their finger on the scales of the 2016 election. I think it's worth a try, and people who try will get an added benefit of having some time not spent being told what to think.
