The American left celebrates the most weak-kneed journalism, simply because it's slightly better than the previous daily drivel. We never push anyone to do more. We never pressure networks to do more. We just whine a lot. We deserve this shit. I am sorry, but we do.
The right hated how conservatives were being portrayed, so they began a 45 year project to portray the media as liberal, so all the illiberal things they do would be fenced off and ignored. Now they own so much press, only a random book or idea ever wiggles thru the fence.
The Left watched them do this for 5 decades, mounting only niche responses to it. Even now, there is not 1 large, well-funded project that takes on the right's disinformation like the @ACLU took on free speech. WITH HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF $s. Not the chump-change we spend now.
@ACLU And don't tell me that kind of money can't be raised to try and save our democracy. I will laugh at you.
We squander that much ON SENATE RACES!!!
We squander that much ON SENATE RACES!!!
@ACLU The @ACLU has a 300 staff attorneys and a budget of $300 million a year that they must spread over 18 areas of interest. We need an organization with a budget TWICE that large focused ONLY on combatting disinformation and agitprop. OR we're probably doomed.
