Behind the Overpass

Say the media held its coverage as a bridge, but as you make your way along, you notice the holes in the wood begin to grow bigger with every step. You shout across "Hey! Any chance we can mend these holes?" "Why? And obstruct my privilege?" The Media responds. You realize the only way to cross this bridge is to cover the holes. So, two liberals nail boards over them with black writing that reads; You can look at the media, you can even bask in it. But when you rebuild the bridge, you shed light on things everyone is too scared to talk about. What it would really look like if we all could walk freely. We're James Bivens and Selisity Laursen. And we're mending that bridge.
