one is not on theting rights. in the past there were voting rights black people would not be disenfranchised in any way. the second thing for me if we would talk about a cultural issue is the enactment of the fairness doctrine again. i think part or problem is we had a lot] of new -- bull using the media to promote an ideological -- people using the media to present an ideological perspective and we do not have the opportunity to pretw an said vie here is president biden
