"Right wing media lies far more than legacy media."

This is complete nonsense. Legacy media has been influenced by postmodernism and critical theory, which basically invents conclusions (race/gender, climate, Covid-19). How can you not see this? We are dealing with a top-down tyranny.

How can it be a "top down tyranny" when the FOX supported GOP controlled the House, Senate and Presidency for two full years? FOX is the #1 rated cable new channel and the love to brag about it.

Let me quote Matt's Wikipedia page on this:

<<Taibbi argues that BOTH sides of the political media spectrum are complicit in dividing the country and fueling hate.[14] In 2019, Taibbi self-published the book Hate Inc., a critique of the mainstream media landscape.[101] Reviewing the book for Paste, Jason Rhode called it a "brilliant indictment of American media", praising the majority of the book but criticized Taibbi for "[spending] a section of his book both-sidesing both MSNBC and FOX".>>

The top-down tyranny has more to do with the WEF (the Dems are 100% on board with it). I'm also referring to the progressive movement that has captured most of our institutions (science, medicine, the military, professional sports, Hollywood, most of corporate America, Silicon Valley, etc.) and the Dems, with almost no exceptions I can think of, are on board with this movement, including their allies in the media. Pointing to the reactionary lone wolf that is FOX as you so often do is a glaring false equivalent.

WT - The World Economic Forum has no leverage what so ever over American politics. So your premise is flawed from the start. The TOP when it comes to US policy is the Presidency, the House and the Senate along with the courts. All of which the GOP has controlled or controls.

Who is this "progressive movement" you are referring to? Is it Bernie Sanders and AOC who oppose corporate control of campaign financing and who are fighting to tax the rich and provide Medicare for All or are they Nancy Pelosi who is the leader at of the Democratic party and the leader extracting money from the corporations to fund Dem Campaigns. Because leaders like AOC and Sanders oppose that. and she would not even have a vote on Medicare for All when the Dems had the Sentate house and presidency? Is she the leader of this progressive movment? If so i too oppose her.

Or is the "progressive movement" Obama who's economic team decided to bail out bank share holders and protect bank executive bonuses while leaving home owners to twist in the wing during the Financial crises. Does Obama control them or do they control Obama? You can't answer that because your narrative makes no sense what so ever.

Exactly what is this "progressive" movement you refer to that controls what Hollywood, Corporate American and Silicon Valley do? It sound like you are regurgitating Rush Llimbaugh dialogue which we now know even he did not even believe because it is so fantastic.

The GOP do exactly what Corporate America tells them to do on Tax Cuts to the rich, bailing out banks, funding big oil, funding wars for big oil, denying climate change, de regulating monoplies and on and on.

What the heck are you even talking about?

Rush Limbaugh--GFY. You don't know what I'm talking about because most of your reading comes from people who have a boss. It's a mind virus.

WT - Rush Limbaugh had a boss... I proved that your fantasy about the World Economic Forum controlling what corporations, hollywood and silicon valley think and do is laughably wrong.

Please point me to the evidence you have that proves that the World Economic Forum controls Hollywood and Silicon Valley? What about corporations.

Dozens of corporations deny Climate Change. Are they controlled by the World Economic Forum?

Just wondering?

This is, of course, where you go silent. You can't handle the truth when it reveals that your rants are laughable, right?
