Whatever you think about CNN or MSNBC, FoxNews is pretty over the top, it’s basically a tabloid at this point with many tabloid stories.

I disagree with the premise however: it’s not that American media has so much influence on American consumers, rather American media is producing the product that their consumers want. The influence is basically reversed.

As an insider I genuinely cannot tell whether this is a sarcastic comment

But from where I’m standing, only one party is committed to cutting off its nose to spite its face… and it’s not the Dems.

As an outsider it seems to me one half wants to burn books, regulate love and curb compassion, the other wants to improve education, regulate hate and promote compassion. It’s pretty easy which side to choose.
