Unfortunately, you are correct. To me, the only way out of this is for the left to become tolerant human beings who accept the viewpoints of others. I don't see that happening, any more than citizens in 1917 Russia could see the Bolsheviks becoming reasonable and tolerant.
Truly, if you want to stop this march to destruction, the hate-filled media needs to be stopped. They aren't a 'free press'. They are hateful ideologues with an agenda. Worse, almost all of them see themselves as special people, moving in 'important circles', hip beyond comparison, and deserving to dictate the 'information' that the rest of us see. They see anyone who doesn't move in their circles and think the same as them as less than them.
cut the cable tv
if enough do it the cable companies would be forced to offer a la carte
that would be the beginning of the end for the LEFTIST media
it would be a non-violent protest which they could not ignore cuz it hits their bottom line
Yes, you are right. Beyond their elitist self-image, no doubt some (many?) of them are paid foreign agents (e.g., of China, Iran, Russia) with the explicit mission of dividing Americans. Divide and conquer was one of V. Lenin's favorite tactics.
But, what to do to diminish the influence of the corrupt corporate media?
One thing is to avoid giving them any attention or bandwidth. I do not understand why e.g. Breitbart has so many stories about what the MSM says or Hollywood morons say. Just ignore them.
