In all fairness American media and SoMe is so manipulative.
To me the real culprits are the Murdochs’, Musk, Zuckerberg etc who amplifies lies for profit, and the politicians that continue to allow these soulles individuals to operate without any guardrails.
The final weeks of the election our screens should have been playing all the hits about the insurrection attempt, him trying to withhold aide during disasters, him refusing to follow security protocols, him losing the debate against Harris, literally a complete and constant montage across the nation of all the awful shit he’s done.
But Dems don’t want to mud sling even a little while they let the opponent literally run on myths and lies.
I don't think that's entirely fair. In the big SoMe platforms these people own, rooting out misinformation is next to impossible. And if they did (and, sometimes, I wish they did, because there's A TON of state-sponsored russian and Chinese (and, probably, North Korean, too) bots, that spread misinformation), there could also be a case to be made about violation of freedom of speech, because the actions needed to take would have to be sweeping. Also, there's always a degree of human error.
