Social media, podcasts, "independent" journalism (randos cosplaying as experts)

It's really the "new media" which the right has leveraged for political aims far more effectively, the conspiracy theories and mis/disinformation flows up towards OAN, Fox News, and to the politicians

OAN, Real America News at least. Maybe Breitbart, though that's old enough to be in high school now.
