And that’s exactly the point, too. Keep you mentally tired and angry so you don’t have the energy to question why too deeply.
You ever looked at Twitter, or Lemmy for that matter? The left is every bit as bitter and angry if not more so. Currently both sides (or at least significant portions of them) think the other is in power and responsible for all their problems, and it's the media's job to keep us thinking that way.
...all the while, reasonable people in the middle are just tired of getting bludgeoned by both sides' messaging & want to get on with their lives.
I miss the days before identity politics when it was still possible to keep political pandering and normal life stuff separate, and just enjoy my grill. But now if you use meat on the grill, you're pandering to the right. If you use soy or lab grown vegan meat substitutes you're pandering to the left. And thanks to the inflation both cost too much.
