Agreed. If you have another perspective please detail it otherwise you prove Bob's point (the collapse of critical thought). It's probably not just the FD but I think that played a part.

Bob and I agree: The absence of FD created an environment where fox and blue networks compete. Yes, compete. Voters treat politics and their media like a sport or religion where you back a team or good versus evil. Dualistic. And when a person's view is dualistic they are effectively blinkered.

I avoid chats with Dems and magas whose arguments encompass 4 years of evidence. The dance between left & right (or right and far right?) is just a smokescreen while big business holds a nation, a world, by the throat. And little countries around the world copy the "big boys".

The repeal of the fairness doctrine in 1987 under Reagan changed media and is one reason why 🦊 as we know it exists today. Has it become a propaganda platform? USA needs to use this moment in history (today's environment) to learn. www.reaganlibrary.gov/archives/top..
