That sort of stuff worked in the past when the thugs had the sympathies of the media cartel when the media cartel was trusted by Americans and had oligopoly control over the flow of information.
Now, the media cartel is *not trusted* and does not have a tight control over the flow of information.
I believe this effort will fail and will further erode the already low credibility of the media cartel.
I agree.
it is going to fail and ultimately do nothing but stoke the flames that are already burning very brightly against the establishment political machines.
