2. Masochistic tendencies? Projection?

First, welcome to DU.

Second, propaganda, or news, as the corporate media describes it, is not something people choose. It is background. And capitalists have always used identity to divide workers so the capitalists can better exploit the workers. That is not new.

And in a money based political system generally the rich are the only ones who can affords to run for office. Citizens United only accelerated a longstanding process.
