re: #94 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))

Read about Sinclair Broadcasting and their agenda over a year ago. It is only going to get worse until we have instituted a Ministry of Fairness and Balance and given them the task of clearing all news stories for broadcast, posting or or publication.

The consistent fear I have about this is that I fear it’s already too late. Between Fox and Sinclair, there’s a powerful enough alternate reality that may just brainwash enough Americans to give the GOP the eternal power base it really needs. Like with the Mueller investigation…there’s a damn good chance he drops the mother of all bombshells, makes a genuine case for treason several times over…and the GOP does nothing. And enough voters, convinced by the deluge from Fox, Sinclair, Breitbart, etc., follow along, led by the nose, enough that it really doesn’t matter, they vote en masse for the GOP anyways and win because nothing matters.

The GOP seem to be living a propaganda dream that would make Orwell weep, and it only seems to get worse by the day. It’s something that feels like it’d take generations to undo at this point because of how pervasive and impenetrable it really is.

EDIT: To add on, think about Rosanne. Prior to the reboot’s debut, she fucking snapped off vile taunts toward Parkland students that ABC simply made her erase, and had a photoshoot where she dressed up as Hitler making ‘burnt cookies’ with the obvious implication. After the debut, she gleefully promoted the worst of the 4Chan fever swamp conspiracy theories, and no response. All three of these would ruin a career for anyone that wasn’t a Trump supporter. But because it’s Trump, and the media remains enamored with conservatives as ‘real America’, everything fucking gets a pass, even when it’s proven unacceptable by every single measure.

It’s impenetrable.
