EDIT: I should clarify, by Jill Stein, I mean what her party's official platform and policies are, as reflected by her statements in interviews

It's not a policy question it's a media question. The right started taking over news media the day Nixon resigned. Repealing the Fairness doctrine, ending League of Women voters debates, propping up Fox news, and Sinclair media buying out all the local stations. That's the decades long community goal they've been running. The left needs to understand it, and how to fight it, because MSNBC isn't doing it.
