BREAKING: Americans watch too much TV

I just wish I knew how to change this shit. Especially since the problem is so self-sustaining that when Dems do make noise and fight back against the shitty wholesale adoption of right-wing frames, the media immediate runs screaming the other way and double-downs, becoming even more slavishly devoted to said same right-wing frames, and making sure that only the GOP narrative ever gets told.

And thus Dems are held to blame for everything, the GOP gets to be treated as having no agency whatsoever and instead becomes THE viable alternative for ‘change’ because everyone and their mothers “know” the Dems are at fault for every fucking thing. And the more you fight it, the more entrenched it becomes. No fucking wonder we can never get any shit done before Republicans fuck it all up again.
