It only took 20 years for one station with Fascist Propaganda to get a Fascist elected

(unless you count Darth Cheney). Fox News was launched in October of 1996.

Think about how seductive, powerful, and addictive fascist propaganda must be to create that kind of constituency in only five presidential terms. There are millions of Americans who will only believe something if it comes out of Fox.

Progressive policies are so great - built on science, empathy, and hope, instead of fear. Why can't we get equally enthusiastic media representation for effective government and policies that make all of our lives better? It seems that benefiting everyone is a strategy for being loathed or ignored by the media and most of the populace.

Just venting. I still can't believe it only took one station 20 years to bring their horrible agenda to power.

1. Great point

This is fascism taking root in America, and it's most obvious sign is not the man in the White House, it's the fact that so many Americans now hate each other.
