Now let's talk the media monolith and what it's not. Who does real journalism? Yes, the NY Times. BUT. What doesn't happen? Major stories like this from NY Times hit, which harm the left, and don't become part of the 24/7 cable news cycle.https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/22/us/politics/facebook-suspends-alabama-elections.html …

We are still in transition phase. Cable subscriptions subsidize networks, but when users - especially under 40 - have a choice, they choose podcasts. This isn't a trend. Human connection is universal. And legacy media, especially with the built-in biases, won't influence 20204.

The REAL trends, not outrage stuff on TV, is trending in the right direction - Human connection, long form content, which is both critical, empathetic. In the short term, however, it gets worse - Livelihoods destroyed - Shootings + bombings We are in major transition phase.

Sarkon of Akkad has a family. His livelihood was destroyed. The far left is gleeful. They don't have any sense that he is a human being. This is a dangerous mindset for them, and also draws a counter-reaction.

What is the far left going to do when they've deplatformed everyone they hate, which is 40% of country? They haven't thought this through. If you WANTED bad stuff to happen in U.S., you'd applaud the far left's actions to bankrupt people. They are radicalizing moderates.

Anyhow, I hope you have found this thread useful and not too self-indulgent. I don't like the short-term trends, which is why I am really working to be nice(ish) and not part of the problem. Civilization is worth preserving. Merry Christmas!
