How's your political propaganda out there?
ALL of our major media outlets are for profit corporations and serve as propaganda outlets.
NONE of our major media outlets speak honestly about progressive policies.
ALL of our right wing propaganda equates socialism with "the left" and "the left" is portrayed in the absolute worst ways possible. They constantly talk about Venezuela and eating rats (they say we want that). The argument about abortion is almost entirely to be at opposition with "the left" and to paint us as "baby murderers." Any conversation about taxation is equated to theft from "hard workers" to be given to "lazy slobs who pop out babies to collect free money." They specifically take opposition to anything "the left" wants so they don't have to have policies other than "hate the other."
