    Well, that is what advertising and propaganda is.

      Eh… At this point it’s more of a religion. People just believe what they want to believe. And that is the underdog who is the second coming of Jesus and will fix all problems that were created by immigrants.

      At this point you have entire media silos filled with privatized propaganda, which is just ripe for this shit to happen. And this model is cropping up around the world.

      We need to react to this somehow or we’ll be toast. If we can’t reclaim the media landscape for professional journalism for it’s own sake, we’re headed down a dark road indeed.
