He is such a ****ing idiot.
Can't believe our choices this election cycle. Might be the worst in American history.
The media is destroying America. When people like Trump and Musk can dominate thought, we are in trouble.
Oh please.
There have
always been people who had far more influence than they should have. Whether it's sports figures, business leaders, politicians or whatever, the media has been selling the '
listen to this person' schtick for centuries.
I am old enough to remember Jimmy Carter being sold as our national mentor, and of course we all remember how Barack Obama was given air time whenever he had an opinion, from national economy to his basketball predictions.
Last I checked, those who want can think for themselves. If you can't, the problem is not the media but more internal.
