The mainstream media (MSM) messaging isn’t controlled by a central brain, a single-minded group of elites or even a particular political leaning. It is controlled by capitalism. Each channel, each paper, each website must run content that sells ads that sells products. Or they perish. That’s it.
If you think there is one big brain choosing what you see, that brain can only be one thing: capitalism.
Whether “dems” or “alt-rights” are running the story. Whether 45 is being praised or lambasted, the same thing occurs: ads get sold, and you get more conditioned to buy stuff.
Want to control the message? Want to control the media? There is only one way that will work. Think about it.
Wasting your energy highlighting hypocrisy on one side or the other, making more and more horrific predictions and arguments, or even hunkering down more with “your side,” is a distraction from the real problem: 45 sells papers. He always has, and does now more than ever.
