In reply to the discussion: Trump and allies are waging campaign against media to stifle dissent - experts [View all]OldBaldy1701E
(6,799 posts)40. Which makes us 'Public Enemy Number One' I am afraid.
No one employs hate more that the US. We hate anything that is not like us and that is not based in greedy capitalism. Hell, there are successful industries that are solely based on hate. They thrive here.
Being magnanimous is seen as a fault here (unless it gains one something). Being compassionate and understanding is also something seen as 'weak'. Hate seems to be the one thing we can all agree on (either as a useful tool or a destructive force, we still agree that it is something to keep in our society).
Freaking sad, isn't it?

If Trump is filing frivolous lawsuits, he should be responsible for legal fees.

The billionaire owners already control it. Manipulated, censored, and invented on command.
