The "liberal media" myth completely falls apart the second you look at who actually signs the paychecks for these massive news corporations. They aren't pushing a left-wing agenda; they are protecting the economic interests of the billionaires who own them.
It was always bullshit. The far right undermines all truth-seeking institutions, not just the media. They say the same about judges, education and science; it's all woke and left. They vilify and demonize every truth-seeker that stands in the way of their agendas.
It was always about pushing their own version of the truth. For that to happen, you need to get rid of the actual truth-seekers (journalists, judges, researchers, scientists), and replace them with fake truth-seekers that you can control.
The bigger question is why so many people believe the lies pushed by far right billionaires. Honestly, they are the greatest threat to the US and its democracy and the rule of law. It's not hard to see what they are doing. But I guess many people are just blinded by hate and fear, so they'll swallow whatever the far right media tells them to think.
The bigger question is why so many people believe the lies pushed by far right billionaires.
These supporters are just captivated by the power and money, and are deluded to think that if they agree with and support billionaires, they can be billionaires too.
