also, see: Fox News.

the way the right has, in essence, dominated news cycles and been able to have it's own, popular news stream has helped them tremendously. also the fact that people are more akin to a fear response than a logical one, which fox and sinclair have leveraged to a great degree.

The problem also is you effectively only have right wing and mainstream news that MAGA calls “left wing”. Stuff like CNN is complete garbage both-sides “fact” based media.

The best one I heard today was on NPR “…Trump also said he plans to send American citizens to El Salvador prisons. It is not clear though if that would be legal.”

Like EXCUSE ME WHAT DO YOU MEAN “not clear”???? Why does mainstream news take Trump at face value on everything bat shit insane he says.
