Because the media, often called the 4th estate here is long dead. For the better part of the last century it’s increasingly been a corpse reanimated by the ownership class. And now the remaining rotted flesh is being scrapped and stretched over constructs of silicon and steel.

There’s constantly little trickles leaking out. Showing that Americans aren’t that divided. That we agree far more than we disagree. But that doesn’t sell your attention span. Fascist media is always ready with someone powerless minority group to blame for our problems. Liberal media always there to tell us to be outraged and march against it. Pitting us against each other. Just so what recently happened doesn’t happen. Where we can look at each other and collectively identify the oligarchs as the problem.
