Luckily we now have conservative media as somewhat of a foil. Probably is...too many grassroots conservatives still fall for the liberal MSM tactics....like participating in a trashfest over a local lane closing.
We’ve always had propaganda to one degree or another, but it balanced out; there were Republican and Democrat papers.
Now there are no conservative MSM outlets (no, Fox is not conservative). We have radio outlets, but that is about it. Nothing we hear or read is trustworthy.
