I guess because I have more critical thinking skills and are aware at how much media manipulates, controls and brainwashes people and thus I am less likely to fall for it. Unfortunately if the media presents something as a majority view most people will fall in line because they want to blend in with the majority. And with this issue the media also pushes the idea that being anything less than supportive of everything trans makes you an evil bigot and of course no one wants to be an evil bigot.

Absolutely this. And looking back recently, think of all the covid crisis coverage, just how much of your media do you remember talking about sweden fondly, or how Canada and other allies of ours are paying their citizens ~1500-2000/mo AND their healthcare for as long as these shutdowns last? Now how many blame one party or the other without mentioning ANY of these things?

of course no one wants to be an evil bigot.
