With little more than conspiracy theories and hyper partisan right wing propaganda these organisations have captured the imaginations of a yuuuuuge segment of the population.<br /><br />You're right Jersey, an ill informed/uninformed populace is the greatest existential threat to our democratic republic. <br /><br />FOX News is rapidly becoming like the more whacked out Breitbart and InfoWars. It has been interesting watching FOX devolve into the business of propagating right wing propaganda as a core principle of the media giant.<br /><br />It's going to take a concerted and sustained long term effort on the part of reasonable scientific minded rational people in politics, the media, business, and education to ever turn it around.<br /><br />With DeVos as Secretary of Education, Bannon as Cheif White House strategist and NSC member,and the Tweeter in Chief running things we may very well be seriously screwed for years to come. Think SCOTUS.<br /><br />It's a mess.Les Carpenterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01120280762698472496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8549971354391868786.post-84976164072046881372017-02-09T21:53:52.967-05:002017-02-09T21:53:52.967-05:00LOL! I noticed the FOX News crowd has taken to us...LOL! I noticed the FOX News crowd has taken to using the expression "Alt Left," with "mainstream media" and so forth. It was just made up to make some kind of moral equivocation between Nazi sorts and hippy sorts. Now it's in the Urban Dictionary. <br /><br />The facts, the narratives, the memes, they're all just silliness. The people have got to be better informed. This is a real, existential American problem.<br /><br />JMJJersey McJoneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15426560061830038806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8549971354391868786.post-50999189363531825962017-02-09T18:47:44.871-05:002017-02-09T18:47:44.871-05:00BREAKING NEWS >>> 9th Circuit rules again...<br /><br /><a href="http://www.cnn.com/2017/02/09/politics/travel-ban-9th-circuit-ruling/index.html" rel="nofollow"><br /><br /><br /><b>BREAKING NEWS >>> 9th Circuit rules against reinstating travel ban </b></a><br />Les Carpenterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01120280762698472496noreply@blogger.com
