The Sleight of hand the Right pulled off by convincing people that the media was liberal was largely responsible for the downfall of our Democracy.

Forget even the normalization of Trump's fascism. Think about how AOC has been portrayed in the media. AOC is probably left of where I am, but she's not some wacko Communist like the media has portrayed her for years. Her ideas are a lot closer to the middle than Trump's are, but she has never gotten a fair shake IMO.
