Right wing conspiracy

My two cents on this are pretty simple and practical. The republicans owned congress for 6/8 years. If there was something on Obama they would have pursued it. Your issues with IRS, Benghazi (a total farce just like going after trump on niger would be), etc. amount to nothing. McConnell, Ryan and Boehner would have nailed the guy. They did it to the last democratic president over nothing. Pretty simple math to me. As for the corruption of the media. This is a story that goes back to right wing talk radio in the 90s. Started with spreading right wing mythology about the media. Up until then there was a consensus that the newsprint and national news was giving a fairly reasonable account of what was going on. Then comes talk radio- Rush et al perpetrated by ailes and Murdoch. Buying media outlets, clear channel, and then fanned by right wing think tanks(brookings, American enterprise institute etc...). They present with just enough reality to sound real but aren’t. And they push and push a clear “conservative “ agenda and anti media campaign for years and years. It grows and grows fomenting doubt in weak minded ppl. And perpetuating a fraud that has spread to the point that every bit of information is now in doubt. So scientific information (what science calls fact- ie, what we know to be true at the moment based on our best scientific work) is doubted or it’s findings are questionable bc of some fantasy about who funded it. And why is that? Bc corporations (mostly run by right wingers) figures out they can fund fake studies, and create confusion about science. Then the left decides it has to play the game and they create left wing “media” (really equivalent to right wing propaganda) to combat this already too established right wing. But that just serves the right’s agenda by reinforcing the narrative. This is how it all went down, filtered down to the point that so many people now believe all news is fake, or deliberately biased, that we get someone like Trump who is a master manipulator of this entire process. Now it makes us ripe for totalitarian govt and for now the right is winning that contest
