The better question is why the media has any objective other than reporting news for the purpose of informing the public? The fact that it advocates any political agenda at all is troubling.

Just like Saul Alinsky and Cloward and Piven wrote: Before you put the new system in place (Marxism) you must destroy the old system.

The media can't divide squat.

The insane Enemies Domestic isolated themselves, and the rest of us normals are just glad, happy to see them self-destruct and we can continue in a different direction.

No biggie...

Yup. Conflict gets ratings and sells papers. The more conflict, the more money and the more material to fill a 24-hour news cycle.

If it were JUST the old British aristocracy, we wouldn’t have much of a problem fighting it off.

We have enemies both foreign and domestic in positions of high power.

This has been Putin’s plan all along. An interesting read: The USA Cannot Balkanize - https://www.socialmatter.net/2016/04/22/the-u-s-a-cannot-balkanize/
What has happened to change this authors conclusion? From the article: “As I pointed out more than two years ago, despite widespread and increasing societal tension, the United States is simply not polarized enough to actually Balkanize or collapse into civil war. North America is becoming increasingly diverse and increasingly non-European, but diversity alone is not enough to drive a civil war or other major political rupture. For that, you need not just diversity, but concentrated diversity, and America’s diversity is deliberately diffused throughout the entire country.” My thoughts are that Putin has infiltrated the country and his plan all along has been the balkanization of the US...look around today - our media and the democrats are helping him achieve his goal. That is the real Russian Collusion, and it runs deeper than anyone knows.

#1. Because it is profitable.
#2. They are socialists and believe what leftists espouse.
#3. They hate and then project that hate onto others. Just look at jim acosta.

Sometimes they don’t ‘divide’ us they just back the same old thuggy side... but other than that you are one hundred percent right.

Never did Facebook or social media, but Duck Duck Go gets sites that are no longer PC for google search such as gun rights, the Muslim problem, and Deep State.

MSM thinks they own us deplorables but they are so wrong.

Vox may be the worst of the hate spreading media outlets. They had some ridiculous excuses last week for Sarah Jeong’s hate tweets.

There's always been money to be made in spreading hate and division. From the establishment of race-based slavery in the 1600s to today's leftist social justice warriors, careers and fortunes have been made in America by dividing and inciting God's children against each other. No race or political faction has been immune.

First of all, it’s a mistake to call them “the media”.

The media is not the press.

What we have now, should rightfully be referred to as the propaganda arm of the democratic party. The media today is just a division of the democratic party, and the democrats are the ones dividing the country. Their media arm is just the means by which the democrats accomplish their mission to divide and conquer the people.

The “media” being mentioned hates to be called “fake news”, but only because people are finally realizing what that media actually is. They are the wolves in sheep’s clothing. They don’t represent the news at all.

The media is the dark trying to overcome the light and it won’t work.

Connecting the dots....
The supporting document by Apelbaum is very interesting.

The divide is between those who can act with impunity without consequences versus those who will be prosecuted to the fullest on trumped-up charges.

The rest of it is simply factions taking sides.

Journolist rather than journalism -- the partisan media shills regurgitate DNC talking points, because that's what they do, and what they've done for more than a generation. Thanks davikkm.
