It's worrying.
The groundwork was laid in the US starting in the 1970s.
With the founding of Cato, Searle, Olin fnds. Murdoch bought the NY Post in 1976. Fairness doctrine was repealed in 1987 allowing Rush Limbaugh to go bigtime. Fox started in 1997.
- refurb 8y agoApparently conservative equals fascism to you. That’s unfortunate.
- mhneu 8y agoJust the authoritarian “conservative” movement that seeks to concentrate power. I am actually a conservative on many issues, including UBI, work rules, tariffs, caution when making new law and regulations, and appropriate pricing of risk. However the real conservative movement has been redirected as a way to link wealthy donors’ interests with identity politics, for votes. Part and parcel of that is a huge propaganda machine which spouts lies. That propaganda is corrupting the West and I am afraid for its effect on democracy and average people.
