26. This too will pass.

The corrupt enabling media was lining up like little toy soldiers behind Trump, along with some Russian trolls and bots.

It spewed from ever right wing controlled and left wing pretending corporate media entity.

I can't watch TYT anymore. They have so totally bought into the media frenzy like they did with Hillary. They are enabling the Trump Putin Russian propaganda machine that got Trump elected in the first place. They have learned Nothing.

Just know the entire corporate media is perpetuating a con on America to turn our democracy into a fascist dictatorship like Russia is.

They want a fascist dictator so badly they can taste it. It's the fulfillment of a lifelong dream for the filthy-rich owned media. They have been promoting this kind of dictatorship since Nixon.

But I see signs of this winding down. People are starting to wake up. There are fewer DUers who are posting about the frenzy as if Biden's age were a real issue.

Controlling your media and news intake helps. It gives you a chance to think the issues through and notice patterns and manipulation.

Just remember this is just another con. And cons require trust and confidence to continue. I see many more people pulling away from the news and corporate media. They are losing confidence in their journalistic integrity. They don't trust what is reported. Once that distrust sets in, it serves as a kind of protection from another con.

Just don't trust what is spewing forth from the media. Question all their political reporting.
