    You hit the nail right on the head.

    As a person who lives in the U.S., the corporate ownership of the media is a huge problem. Pair that with the larger social media companies all censoring content now, and there’s no sense of ‘reality’ here anymore.

    There are protests happening in major American cities, and they are only being covered by the local media of those cities, and their reach stymied online. It’s clear to me that the media is intentionally downplaying anti-Trump sentiment.

      The same thing happened with the Iraq war protests both before and after Bush invaded. Massive protests in all the big cities and smaller ones in the small cities, all but ignored by the media. They only mentioned in passing that there even were protests–no footage, no live reports, just crickets. This has been going on with the media for well over 25 years. It all started going to hell after Reagan revoked the Fairness Doctrine. You can trace pretty much everything that’s led to the downfall of this country back to Reagan.
