@jayrosen_nyu @VanityFair That's the crux of the problem. RghtWng misinfo in MSMedia is subtle. Most don't realize they R doing it. It's a plutocratic structure w GOPers on top setting the frame.

@nytdavidbrooks 7 Lessons Status Quo Defender Brooks Won't Learn Bc NYT Loves Status Quo Defenders Who Are out of Contact with Reality

1) GOP always claims Dems are overstimulating the economy bc GOP doesn't want Dems to help ppl & thus win more elections.
"Almost 70% of Americans think the @nytdavidbrooks economy is in poor shape" bc of NYT & other MSMedia Biden bashing on the economy & not mentioning the effects of the T tax cut on inflation.

2) Crime rates are up bc Republicans have flooded the nation with guns. That is the cause of Americans' worries about crime.

@jayrosen_nyu @psybertron @AliceDreger @NickBryantNY "What happens on soc media doesn’t stay on social media. Online violence is real-world violence.

@ElieNYC They cd do it. There are reasons why they don't. 1) GOP works the refs, accusing media of LWng bias to push them Rgtward. It works. GOP has outrage machine every1 fears & bends to. Dems don’t have 1 so often can’t defend selves or get fair media coverage

"America’s newsrooms too often deprive ...readers of plainly stated facts that cd expose reporters to accusations of partiality or imbalance," wrote @WesleyLowery .
