Agree! The media relishes in creating conflict between people. They care only about creating a sensational story, hoping to ‘scoop’ other reporters and gaining ratings. imho, patriotism is not a top priority for the American media.

Around 5%, maybe even as high as 10%, of current news content actually qualifies as information relevant to informed participation in a functioning democratic republic.

The rest, as you state, is just noise. There are so many infotainment channels available, that producers are desperate for controversial content in which to drive ad sales and click bait. As the DoJ investigation progresses, we can be sure professional anarchists and paid 'reality' actors will have played significant parts.

It's satisfying to see that Trump and/or his assistants pay attention to FR, /pol and T_D. This conflict with the destroyers of reason is an information war. As such, language needs to be weaponized to create effective memes to counter the broader media control.

The process of compare & contrast is actually so trivial, it's almost remarkable it has to be explained. To wit:

alt right vs alt left
fascist vs communist
white supremacist vs cultural marxist
confederate supporter vs extremist supporter

The list goes on and on; all it takes is for someone - like Trump - to simply call out the obvious, that hateful dividers are intent on destroying institutions that protect core constitutional rights.

It's not hard, nor is it difficult. Which means, those public figures in Congress that won't mount an effective campaign are actually aligned with corporate socialists which seek to rule through mob action.

What is this, 1981? The media are leftist ideologues totally dedicated to the establishment of world communism.

Money and ratings mean less than nothing to them in comparison to their “revolutionary” cause.
