It's genuinely terrifying to realize just how much power mass media holds over shaping public opinion. Without even lying usually, simply choosing what to report and who to give a platform.

American media isn't even particularly bad in this respect, it looks generally fair and reasonable compared to eg, the British media.

the British print media. Our TV News is pretty sane and sober, although there are current efforts to change that. See: GB News

Yeah, I honestly feel like the BBC might have been the only thing preventing the UK going full-on culture war in the past ten or so years.

(in general, the legal requirement for TV to be impartial and cover both sides is a much bigger contributory factor).
