Media has not covered Robert F. Kennedy Jr. fairly

As a naturalist and environmentalist, eating bear meat is likely low on Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.’s list of unusual dishes. If a freshly killed bear were to go to waste, his instinct would be to make use of it. But due to time constraints, he had to change his plans. Leaving the bear in a very public place would ensure governmental disposal and could be seen as a harmless ruse—one he likely regrets in hindsight.
The mainstream media consistently publishes only degrading and often misleading news about Kennedy. He’s labeled as anti-vaccine, even though his children are vaccinated. His actual stance is that vaccines should be properly tested and that companies producing them should not be immune from prosecution for causing injury.
It’s telling that no candidate will debate him—likely because they know his deep knowledge and intellect would outshine them, allowing the public to truly understand what he stands for.
Often dismissed as a "spoiler," Kennedy resonates strongly with Independents, the largest voting demographic. So why is he so frequently misrepresented? Likely because the mainstream media, bought and paid for, won’t allow any uncontrolled Independent to upset their gravy train.
Kennedy addresses issues that Trump and Harris ignore, such as the $35 trillion debt, continuous war, overpriced pharmaceuticals, healthcare, and housing. Despite this, he has been undemocratically denied a public platform to compete.
