It's a great piece written by Laura Hollis on Townhall....entitled: 'America Grows Sick on a Diet of Propaganda and Political Theater'. I'd strongly recommend a read.
She basically drives at the logic that what we see on TV and via the media....is mostly fake news and scripted propaganda. Her end-point is that the nation has a lack of leadership, which I'd readily agree with.
For ten to fifteen years, I've essayed a number of pieces which lay out the trend of poor communication, hype, and indoctrination. It's reached a level in the past year or two....where even local news has stepped in and tried to be 'tools' of indoctrination as well.
Trying to sell newspapers or magazines today? People are going to the mindset of just saying 'no' and refusing to buy the propaganda pieces. As a news magazine, there's virtually no real profit being generated, and most are falling apart.
Looking for viewers for your news network on cable? A lot of them have quit CNN and Fox.
How we survive the next four years with the current landscape? Unknown. If you were looking for a lessening of propaganda machines, or political bickering....I don't think you will find it. Neither Biden or Harris have proven much in the past at leadership skills. My suspicion is that whatever level of frustration we have today...will only double over the next couple of years.
