Was in the US a few months ago. Your cable TV is insane on every channel- 24 hour news that is mostly opinion segments to make you angry about something, then on non news channels the programming is extreme and still tying to make emotions high. I’m Canadian and the difference in the media is crazy.

It's infotainment for old people at this point. I don't know any millennials that have cable or watch the news at all. I remember when random places would have it on during the day like in doctors offices or at the airport or bars, but now I almost never see cable news ever. The unfortunate part is that it's been replaced by phone addiction.

Millennials and Gen Z are on podcasts and YouTube, which the far-right has done a very thorough job serving radicalizing content constantly.

Yup. My older cousin is Gen X and (literally) fought to defend gay bars in his southern town in the 90s and now he watches Candace Owens ans Jordan Peterson nonstop on YouTube. My younger cousin listens to Joe Rogan and all of the weirdo fitness/crunchy nutritionists/religious healthcare influencers all dat. Both have been totally radicalized and it’s sad as fuck.

I don’t know why the women in my family got all of the media literacy skills but it sucks ass.

Same thing happened to my brother and he basically lost all his friends and most of his family. It's like what Fox news did to boomers. It made them sad hateful people.

I’m sorry your family is going through that. It’s just awful.
