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.

Ah, yes. Both sides. Both sides hate net neutrality. Both sides clamouring to make healthcare worse. Both sides fighting against the right for women to control their own bodies. Both sides hinting that their supporters violently attack the opposition at rallies.

Except maybe not quite so much sometimes.

I'm with you on net neutrality. I have no problem with women doing what they want with their own bodies, it's the child's body I'm worried about. I'm not a huge fan of the healthcare system either, I just think giving "free" healthcare to illegal aliens and putting the government in charge of it will make things worse and not better. Honestly not sure what you're on about with the violent attacks thing, but I've seen plenty of calls for violence from prominent leftists, and the "summer of love" 3 years ago destroyed quite a bit.

But either way, I'm not a "muh both sides" centrist. To the contrary, I think the media is trying to distract both of us sides from the real enemy: moderates.
