Exactly. It just further polarizes the country by accentuating the divide between the two data streams the public gets about what constitutes reality. The MSM's control over media is so all-encompassing they can literally create a false reality. People simply only hear the lies and never see or hear the evidence of the truth. You have to dig deep and invest a lot of time and effort to get to the truth, and it's increasingly hard to find. Every time something happens, Big Tech scrubs it from the internet, buries it in the search results, etc. The data from gov't gets changed at the source and the lie becomes the new "source of truth."

George Orwell's book was supposed to be a warning. These assholes used it like a guidebook.
