    Yeah and look how well that has worked for an uninformed and (purposely kept) ignorant populace.

    This is like when people say satire is effective critique of toxic masculinity or Capitalism, and then people praise and identify with Tyler Durden and cheer for the humans in Starship Troopers.

    Maybe journalists should take a hard line and be explicit instead of pretending to be impartial.

      Plenty of lib journalists do pretend to be impartial sure, and that's annoying. But there is actually journalistic skill in letting people make connections themselves, which I feel is pretty effective in getting to think about something differently.
