I keep saying this. I say it almost every day. I've been saying it for over two decades, yet the message doesn't seem to sink in for most people.
Break the media-lie-system, and the nation heals itself. The media-liars exist for the sole purpose of ensuring "elite" control of mass communications. They are literally the voice of "elite" control of the government.
The media-lie-system works to elect liberals, because liberals open the purse strings of Washington DC, and so many "elite" make their riches through the exploitation of the government spending and policy, both legally, (through management of government programs and receiving government contracts), and illegally. (through the sale of influence, policy, regulations, etc, like Joe Biden does)
The media-liars are part of the corrupt industry of government, and they control the propaganda the public is allowed to hear, always with the intent to influence the public to support liberal causes and ideas, because liberals in power means wealth for the "elite" and their cronies.
It is a system to exploit government for private profit.
Break the media-lie-system, force the *OTHER SIDE* (us) to have the same air time as the liars, and the nation heals itself. Policies which are idiotic and destructive to the nation will not be supported by the people when they can see people on television talking about how these policies are idiotic and destructive to the nation.
The propaganda system is the lynchpin of politics. It is how people make their decisions to vote. If it feeds them liberal bullsh*t all day every day, the dumber portion of the population will buy into it and vote liberal.
We fix the media-lie-system, and we fix everything.
How to we do that while still respecting the First Amendment? Because I'm extremely reluctant to open the door to limiting speech - including media speech - that we don't like.
The prerequisite for any "equal time" analysis is someone in government having the power to characterize speech, determine what "side" that speech is on, and approve/disapprove who gets to respond. And I don't want to give that kind of power to anyone.
