Much of modern western media should be deeply ashamed of themselves. Pure corporate shills and lying right-wing propagandists. I blame them for the success of the far-right and climate denialists both in mainstream parties and on the fringes. They are the main reason we have such a deep disparity in wealth and done so little concerning climate change. I hope those responsible will ultimately be brought to justice but I won't hold my breath,
Sadly too many voters suffer from confirmation bias and only seek media outlets and publications that feed that bias. How to break the hold of corporate media on the more simple and easily influenced of the majority of the general public is a real problematic question to answer. The main hope on the horizon is both the awakening youth to the very real terrors of a climatic troubled world and that conservative governments are only getting in by the skin of their teeth. Increasingly desperate they resort to gerrymandering, voter suppression and other forms of cheating.
