with good arguments.

We need to notice things like the RW Hispanic radio stations that swung Hispanic votes to Trump--before an election, not after. We simply needed to have a LW media presence there to counter it. This will get more difficult as Trump tries to shut down free press. We know now how easy it is to convince a population who has the most reason to vote against Trump. We have to reach these populations this time.
