Corporate media has as its prime directive distribution of a maximally palatable “news product” to expand/maintain its financial/influence value.
Strategic use of euphemism such as “#CultureWar” minimizes, whitewashes and normalizes neofascism.

The spread of reactionary assaults by neofascists depends on normalization and permission by the majority. At present corporate Media is permissive / amplifying:
disinfo about CRT, book banning, assaults LGBTQ+ rights are all the same extremist movement but treated as if random

We are grateful to the voice of @jbouie who is highlighting the participation of media. Excellent piece today and hazards of framing “culture wars” as stunted analysis
So when you read another lazy “take” about #CultureWars reject it!
And think of @jbouie and the larger context.
