What is to be done about media bias and censorship?

It is increasingly evident that the leftist national Mainstream Media (MSM), is engaged in a campaign of censorship of conservative thought and non-politically correct opinion. The media - especially print journalism - have been entrusted to convey material fact in an open and unbiased manner. That trust has been abrogated.

Also evident is the fact that social media corporate giants are actively engaged in blatant bias, filtering, shadowbanning, and censorship.

The following articles discuss the problem and present possible solutions to this encroachment on free speech.
