Folks, yes, corporate US media is largely going along. But, even worse, they have been going along for many decades. I know I keep bringing up Zinn's People's History and I'm going to continue because he details this over and over in the book. Others have as well. The US media system has, as a rule, gone along with the establishment for decades. Every US foreign aggression, and foreign policy in general, gets approval from establishment media. Most domestic news is covered with a persistent lack of critique of the long running establishment, the capitalist class.

The linked essay is great except in its pretending that the #resistance to #fascism is a defense of #democracy. No, it's opposition to overt fascism. But the framework of any #liberal world view, even #progressive, that describes the previous norm as #democratic is a failure. Establishment government is corporatism, an illusion meant to capture our energy and dissuade us from real #struggle.
