After Obama won, right wing media consolidated, focused on the upset base and veered right. Left/liberal media does the opposite.https://twitter.com/alexweprin/status/861536145590583296 …

Let's put it in perspective. Koch bros spent about ONE BILLION in 2016 alone.

Local news is decimated. The only way to fix this is to fund local news. Not some meager funds aimed at innovation, research or disruption.

Without local news, local corruption is unchecked, and that trickles upwards. Almost all ad money goes to Facebook and Google. Just truth.

Retail politics needs energy & grassroots—and the Dems have a lot of it. It also needs staff and resources for long-term. Not being funded.

Structural problem: Republicans and Democrats both have a base that wants to win. Only R's have people with money who really want to win.

I can imagine the next DEM donor conference. "What are the metrics; how are you doing assessment; here's $10K for a pilot." Meanwhile, 2017.
