And what of media’s role in boosting it?

Yeah but that’s the entire platform of conservative politics. They don’t have any policies that help anyone that isn’t a millionaire if they can’t stoke fear and hatred of an, “other.”

We can thank Newt Unethical Gingrich for that.

That doesn't mean I don't agree with your point, I do.

But, I think the media need to take a long hard look at themselves too-and the way they are actively contributing to the problem.

Ok. When politicians turned extremists, they fail to tackle extremism? Sounds right.

The rise of polarisng rhetoric parallels the surge in extremism. Politicians, media, and influencers exploit inflammatory language to gain power, using fearmongering, dehumanising stereotypes, and dog whistles to fuel division and an "us vs. them" mindset that erodes democracy.
