The right wing’s media consolidation crusade...started in earnest in the ‘90s when Sinclair started scooping up local news stations. You may remember such Orwellian moments as this one in 2018, when they made dozens of anchors recite the same script— ironically enough about fake news.

We've become consumers of thought instead of creators of it. The irony, the more information we consume, the less of our own minds we actually use. Consumption clutters, but creativity clarifies. Pick up a pen, turn on your brain, heal your story, and let's reclaim our humanity.

Most of us have an innate desire to feel seen, heard and understood. Until we do, we can get stuck in our stories. Once you get your story out, you can begin to separate the emotion from the event and re-solve what happened by re-membering the pieces and re-write the true story.
