Indeed, "the medium (media) is the message" has been co-opted and twisted to the service of the most destructive, morally bankrupt, omnicidal cabal of neo-feudalist, self-selected intelligentsia in human history.
Seriously, Peter, you should be awarded multiple prizes in journalism for being the most FACTUAL investigator and analyst in the country! You should be given big speaking fees at journalism schools and think tanks. You should be lauded as the man to consult by anyone seeking to learn how to factually investigate.
As the facts on declining consumption of corporate media show, ordinary citizens of the U.S. have become very skeptical of everything that’s being dished at them. This may prove to be the death of many anticipated applications of AI, because who will believe anything AI tells us? It will be the butt of comedians’ jokes - more garbage in, garbage out thrust at us as “the Truth”, ha, ha.
So here’s a new-career idea for you, Peter. With your high intelligence, tech skills, eloquence, analytical genius, plus other experience and skills, is there a way that you could ensure a higher degree of accuracy in AI? Sure, AI may tank because of its huge need for electricity and water, but sidestepping those issues, is there a way that you could team up with master algorithm-writers to prevent AI from being such GIGO that it is rendered unreliable? Maybe you’d like to brainstorm on that. You would be SO good at this!
The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country.

In almost every act of our daily lives ... we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons ... who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind. -Edward Bernays, Master of Propoganda

The entire establishment is a group of dark triad emotional vampires. We need to get self-sufficient immediately - figure out how to live without them completely (eg no more supermarkets) - and start ignoring them. This will starve them and in our favor we will not longer be their emotional puppets dangling from their psychotic string.
At a minimum, we need to whittle the Deep State down to about 1% of its current size! (And my opportunity to ask you: I hope that things are improving in your life, Tritorch?)

Strictly speaking, the media has not been “coopted”. It was never a neutral unbiased reporter of facts in the first place.

Facts, evidence, and data are always the way to defeat propaganda.
We are not dominated. We simply are not doing our due diligences.
