I have just seen this piece by John Oliver about the takeover of local news by Sinclair.
This has me really terrified that the fascists are controlling the media even more.
I am remembering how struck I was, when there were riots in London, that you knew at least 12 hours before the mainstream US media reported it, because, through social media, as a celebrity, you have access to instantaneous information from your many fans. Your network was superior to that of the mainstream media.
It seems to me that celebs, like you, are in a position to gather and disseminate information that may be blocked at other avenues.
I'm not sure where I would go with this, but I hope you will keep it in mind and possibly brainstorm with other celebs about how to use this power.
