It's not a complete "response". It's a biased but fair assessment about propaganda shaping perceptions in the 70s and 80s - as always, and as reflected in Chomsky's "Manufacturing Consent", "Necessary Illusions", and "Hegemony" - as well as countless other sources. Not really new, nor particularly insightful, like much of my not unique broken record spoutings, but might be of interest to readers so I still voted insightful (I vote for most stuff I read, primarily avoiding stuff I disagree with). Yet it seems untethered and like an incomplete thought. My criticism would not be about the content, but about what's missing - context...

Just as the corporate media consensus seems to be "orange man bad" this decade, so too, in the 80s they were pushing Reaganomics and Thatcherism, busting up unions, hyping Satanic panic, and such - but at least they also presented alternatives. Greater than the TV perceptions on the duopoly, also missing, is the shadow government, deep state, covert ops, banksters, dealers, and monopolizing of the corporatocracy while freezing the average income of the general population while inflation rose yet markets soared while more became poor and global conflicts increased - across decades since the 70s. His assessment is biased vanilla wrapped up in rage-lite.
