Right? They’re not trying anymore….yet people still watch it. I don’t know which is sadder.
Because they know that, in the end, it doesn't really matter. And it never did.
There was a time... Reagen was a staunch anti-communist, and had allies when he was in Hollywood. It was, i think, the 70s where it all started snowballing to our current state.
In 1965, when LBJ spit signed the Immigration and Nationality Act. The law abolished the National Origins Formula, which had been the basis of all U.S. immigration policy. The act removed discrimination against Southern and Eastern Europeans, Asians, africans, as well as other non-Northwestern European ethnic groups from American immigration policy. That was LBJ's little gift to the jews in support of the Kalergi Plan.
Then again later, in 1968, when Walter-fucking-Cronkite spit, the "Most Trusted Man in America" looked out into peoples living rooms during the Tet offensive, and told them all with a straight face that, "The war in Vietnam may well be unwinnable.", even as the Viet Cong were getting the living shit kicked out of them. Then he and all of his little friends worked overtime to make that narrative stick.
That was when the media began to realize that, through television, and strict control of what the voters saw and heard, they could control the government, and even decide who won or lost wars. That's when "spinning the narrative" became more important than "reporting the facts".
