I don't know what happened to our values

Concentration of media has allowed conservative think tanks to shape people's values. Ten years ago [0], this meant all conservatives were getting marching orders from Fox News. Today, there is the illusion of choice among conservative media outlets (Fox News, X, Newsmax, etc.), but they all send the same message. Even traditionally more moderate outlets, like the WSJ, are being bought by the corporate class and shifting their message to the right.

And where do liberals get their marching orders? Or did this effect not happen there?


The polling data suggests they get their news from varied sources and tend to focus on issues moreso than parties or candidates.


There's a reason "Dems in disarray" is a meme. It's very much based on reality.
