“Far too many Freepers believe the rest of the country must think like them. Wrong. “
As we age, our circle gets smaller. It’s easy to be convinced that most people are as involved as your circle of friends. Heck, I go on my experience, so I could be all wet with my observations! From what I see, most people still use the “evening news” to get informed. That’s tragic.
I remember all the jokes about the “dinosaur media” on FR. Freepers would delight in posting about how the media was going to wither and die as new outlets came on the scene. Funny thing happened, the media consolidated into 6 ownership groups. Those 6 groups control most of what Americans see, hear or read. The “dinosaur media” is alive, well, and killing the country.

It certainly is trying, but non-traditional media such as the Joe Rogan show blows the doors off any of the traditional media in ratings. After Dr. Malone was banned on Twitter, Rogan had him on his show for the usual 3 hour format show. That show not only got huge ratings, people were then googling how to find the show.
The more Big Tech and the dinosaur media tries to throttle and control information, the more people find ways around the censorship.
In the 1980’s VCRs bypassed the censorship in the old Soviet Union. Now in the early 20’th century, in fascist America, alt media is bypassing the censors.
