Ask the average Trump voter where they get their news from and the top answers will be Fox, Newsmax, One America and Elon Musk’s X.

Main stream media has been discredited and people now believe these so-called news sources are more reliable.

They don’t see the lies and distortion being fed to them because that’s all they listen to.

They really think the economy is in the tank, Christianity is under attack, 2020 election was stolen, Kamala has low IQ, all liberals are communists, plus everything else the talking head moderator says.

My point, Trump won for one reason only, the airwaves are now heavily controlled by right-wing media.

Under a Trump presidency, where he’s already made threats to CBS, NPR and other valid news sources, we can expect disinformation news to take over even more.

Isn’t this how it starts when fascism takes hold?

It’s not about how the democrats ran the campaign or who our candidate was, it’s about the disinformation cancer that has metastasized.

The question is, how do we fight it?
