I'm sorry about it's almost become a joke, anybody who uses this phrase: "The Media".

It used to be my fellow travelers on the radical left. Now it's nutcases on the far right. It betrays a simplistic propagandistic desire to create a singular "enemy" narrative to which one is righteously opposed, without having to get deep into the weeds to pick things apart.

It's pathetic and elitist "analysis". There is no singular "media". There is no singular narrative. People pick the poison that fits their ideological biases. In general the ideological biases they have are the ones that fill their stomachs and keep a roof over their head.

But be my guest, rant all you want about the western or "mainstream media". It won't help you convince anybody.
