even if The Fairness Doctrine's mouldering in its grave, there are still people, liberal and conservative, who want honest, accurate and adequate information.

And that truth is neither liberal nor conservative. In spite of all the toxic attempts to obscure it, truth is still bringing honest people together in big areas of overlap and agreement, in spite of different ideological orientations.

As for separate mediaverses (there's a term! ), the crazy right insisted on poisoning themselves with their own long ago.

But lies by definition are not truth and aren't presented as valid by any honest information source. What the right are thinking and doing is important information. though, that we need to know, and understand. Yet like you, I've noticed that dicussing them offends some. That's part of an even worse development, that some now righteously expect the political shows they watch to be loyal players on their partisan "team." Like Fox, but theirs. Big fat no to encouraging that?!
