We need a viable and better social media replacement for facebook etc.
This is the most important thing (imho) going forward.
We need the social media, liberal version, of the fox-news of social media, ASAP.
Broadcast, cable, internet is already indistinguishable as each new platform to some extent subsumes its predecessors.
There's nothing comparable to equal access to the airwaves nowadays.
People already are increasingly becoming totally isolated and fed disinformation that feeds their preconceived ideas - to the destruction of truth, and reality, and comprehension of science.
PBS is fine as it is, but is not nearly enough to make the needed difference in peoples understanding of reality, so that they might be able to fairly consider how to vote for their representatives.
Obviously many people will soon be asking why didn't anyone tell us?
And the answer, is they are being fed a steady diet of misinformation.
The funding for the "information" that these people get comes almost entirely from the corporations that have the most to lose from our inevitable future reality.
Can't we do something about this?
Can a new social media platform be created (or does one exist) that can help to end this?
