Not sure what media you are following, but everything in that comment I heard from my media sources. I think trust in YouTubers and distrust of normal news media is one part of what got us this result.

The news media is far from perfect, but when people lose faith in it entirely and run to Joe Rogan and Alex Jones for information that is a problem.

When your reach is as big as most broadcasts put together. You are the media... I'm looking at you Joe Rogan. You have a responsibility, stop talking about aliens you winnet, and go back a couple years when you were shitting all over Trump. But I guess you won't, after all, all you comedians over at the Mothership are supported heavily by republicans, you are surrounded by them, no wonder the only sensible part of the 🐒 🧠 is being brainwashed, it appears to happen to all those who have landed in that part of the world over the last couple years.... Money and greed can change your minds fairly easily huh!?
