Its more than just the media. NBC and CNN have hired all those ex-spies for a reason. But The Department of Education should be renamed The Department of Child Propaganda. The government is on a all out war of propaganda. Microsoft censored another republican candidate yesterday. Social Media is also under the control of our government.

Since Biden showed up in the Oval office the media has picked up on the MAGA extremist (no doubt inspired by Obama) term. They spit it out like it's a swear word ... closely associated with white supremacist another term they use frequently.

Pointless - the people managing Biden believe that America has NEVER been 'great', and their way is the only way for 'greatness'.
Biden doesn't believe in anything but power and his cut. Never has.

Not a new problem - smartphones just deliver the hobgoblins instantly, to the types of audiences who might never have paid attention in previous generations:
"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed and hence, clamorous to be led to safety - by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." -- H. L. Mencken
