Wait, do you think that the Tulsa race riot happened because people didn't have radio or TV? Wtf?
Race riots occurred in this country because of the acute structural contradiction between the white settler-nation and the other nations; these contradictions have not been resolved by radio and TV in the interim. We will see more of these riots in the future.

Maybe scarier for you and all the running dogs of US imperialism. The people of countries under semi-colonial and semi-feudal rule may disagree.

Politics isn't something to be studied "objectively", where views are right or wrong on their own merits (or worse, some pseudo-"empirical" measure). There is no "null theory" for politics; all political engagement starts from some political theory or method of analysis.
So this so-called "mood affiliation" isn't a fallacy at all, it's the identification of a speaker's political theory. Pretending that you don't have such a theory (or that yours is "objective" or "neutral") won't make it so!

If you want to have a research career, you pretty much have to go to a top ten school (or better). Of course, this doesn't apply to everyone...
