The media has manipulated the political narrative to cast those who simply want as many people as possible to be able to live dignified lives as wide-eyed radicals, and those who are unmoved by the rapid disintegration of both our democracy and planet as sober-thinking moderates.

Who is “the media” in your example? If it only includes Fox and no one else, you’re a part of the problem.

If you believe the media manipulates narratives, why do you continue to go to it for "news"? Will the Moron of the Year devote 9 minutes of her life to some education on Afghanistan? 🤔 youtube.com/watch?v=pqV4gFcc…

True story. They convince people who crave "stability" that the only way to get it is to cling tenaciously to the status quo. They don't realize they're going full steam ahead to collapse and chaos.

The media is a political tool! The sooner we acknowledge the truth of that, the sooner we can go about preserving what is beautiful about this country and improving upon what isn’t! 🇺🇸🙏🏻

Media has become entertainment. You have corporate media who's goal is making profit. Alternative (independent) media is everywhere and is heavily opinionated and often full of misinformation. I remember when "it's not official unless it's on Facebook" was a thing to say.

Confusion and inversions of truth are the tools of despots. 1984 is not just a fiction book, it is here.

Because the same billionaires who own the broken US political system also own its media, and the media just say whatever their owners want. We won't have any real change to help most Americans until we have a new political system. D/Rs only care about the money that feeds them.
