The result we have today is the result of a multi-factorial problem.
I believe, surprisingly, it started with a Fox News station in Florida that was taken to court because they tried to pass opinion as fact/news and didn’t make a point to distinguish. Under Bush, a change was made that took away the merit of the case. This then made it possible for opinion to legally be pushed as fact.
Later, Obama repealed the Smith-Mundt Act and made it possible for our government agencies to use propaganda on the citizens of the U.S., something they had been doing to other countries for decades.
I used to have the links that supported this but I’m taking care of work and running around.
I’ll try to find it later unless someone has a correction for me.
I remember being attacked on both the Bush and Obama occurrences.

Thanks for the background. Good thing I don't watch the black box much.
