As a child, it was always “Fox is just riling up the old people.” I’m not sure whether CNN was once reasonable, but it seems most, of not all, mainstream press has devolved into that Foxian shit-show for one side of the aisle or another trying to capture eye-balls and add dollars.
My inner conspiracy-theorist wonders if this is divide-and-conquer, or just the death throes of dying media.
- scruple 7y agoI noticed it with CNN back around 2008. I don't remember the specifics these days, but I do remember Glenn Greenwald really making a lot of salient points about the direction that CNN had taken. My inner conspiracy theorist has also spent a lot of time wondering if it's just divide-and-conquer in action.
