Tell the Media: Make sure voters KNOW the stakes for Social Security!

First, Donald Trump went on CNBC and announced that there was “a lot you could do” to cut Social Security and Medicare.

Then, the Republican Study Committee released a plan to cut Social Security by $1.5 trillion.

But cable news has spent more time covering Donald Trump’s favorite Snapchat filters than telling voters the stakes for programs that affect all of them. In the 48 hours following Trump’s announcement, the three biggest cable news networks dedicated just 30 minutes between them to Trump’s plan.
