I find this extremely helpful and clarifying. If the liberal media does nothing to vanquish the myth of the BLM riots and then the Dems acquiesce in increasingly militarized policing there’s no way out of this disaster. The Rightwing media have successfully spread this racist idea of “law and order” while sowing chaos and violence.it’s Orwellian: violence is law, chaos is order. Strenuous and intelligent opposition to that strategy has been lacking. As we saw in the ridiculous montage at the 2020 Dem convention attempting to assuage the protestors while doubling down on police. How can we widely propagate your points here?
What liberal media? Free Speech TV? Democracy now, because for the life of me, I can't think of any liberal media, maybe some monthly publications, but not a media on television.
If you get your info from satellite or cable, you are getting spin from corporate media, even MSNBC and corporate media is center right to extreme right.
Blogs and substack are not liberal media.
I guess one could assert that internet news letters are media, but hardly, because most if not all
have a relatively small level of subscription.
Media like NYT and WAPO, are not liberal either, They are corporate, and whatever objective reporting is done by them, it is undone by their Opinion page, which too often are hard right of center, even Trumpist.
And the media should be judged not by just what it prints, but what it chooses not to print, like Global Warming, but that would upset the advertisers and share holders
