Republicans made a huge mess by politicizing everything. This article in the first line starts by assigning blame to "liberals" (like liberals are one entity?) Americans voted in chaos and got their chaos.
If we had leaders we could trust, and weren't turning every little thing into a political game with two sides pitted against each other we wouldn't have a media that's already primed to be calling out that administrations constant bullshit. I don't know how else you could have expected anyone to act? We don't trust you, and now in hindsight we were all expected to put trust in a theory that came with a side of racism? Boy who cried wolf in real life, it has consequences as we see.
If you want to root cause the mess you need to look at why the media responded the way it did and not at the response of the media and the public it self.
- sampo 5y agoOutsider perspective: American media went crazy. American perspective: We hate the other half of our own country, so we need our media to be crazy. It's all for a good cause.
- tayo42 5y ago> Outsider perspective: American media went crazy. It absolutely did, we need to step back and figure out why and address those problems.

- enaaem 5y agoThe problem wasn’t the media. I accept that media can be biased as long as all sides can say their thing. The problem is with the social media fact checkers who have to decide what’s wrong or right. Information was removed without scientific evidence that it was clearly wrong.

- 0x737368 5y agoYes, Republicans made a mess of politcising everything and here you are politicising an unpolitical issue and not even in a reasonable way but "everything bad that happens is THEIR fault, and NONE of the fault is ours". I'm going to echo a sibling comment and say that Americans have indeed gone rabid with this politicisation of everything and turning your neighbours into enemies.
- tayo42 5y ago> here you are politicising an unpolitical I don't think I am, the virus and pandemic was made political last year by the president and the republicans. The first lines of this article are political. How is this on me? Especially when I'm just reflecting and looking back at what happened. covid is politcal, thanks to the republicans making everything political and a culture war. Do you have a suggestion? Or just disagreeing without offering an alternative? Im not really sure what your trying to get at.
- 0x737368 5y agoI certainly do have a suggestion - turn off your computer, switch off the news, and go outside or do whatever else. Anything's better than sitting in front of a screen and purposelessly seething about the other side on the behest of mass media. Same advice applies for Republicans/right-leaning people.
- tayo42 5y agoIdk if your interpreting what I'm saying correctly. Idk why you think my or anyone's individual actions are relevant to how media reacts
