Thanks to Ronald Reagan and your GOP, the working class was not only robbed of their opportunities for economic advancement with 'trickledown" economics that does not trickle down, they were also robbed of the right to unbiased news coverage in 1981 deregulations that allowed the ultra-wealthy to control a lot of stations under a single entity, in 1984 when allowed cable networks to broadcast "entertaining" news that catered to the beliefs of their audiences, and in 1987 when the requirement that news be fair and balanced was dropped. Many Americans are under-educated and unable to distinguish fact from fiction, fact from opinion. Therefore, the eighties made sure these entities could easily control the minds of the peasants. The poor half-educated and superstitious people don't have a chance to think for themselves. The wealthy have brainwashed them to believe women, liberals, gays, and immigrants are stealing their opportunities and ruining their way of life, when, in fact, the wealthy are robbing them blind.
If you think the Taliban in Afghanistan is bad, take a look below. No wonder the USA (and much of the world) is in such bad shape. How can people start thinking for themselves with groups who want to wipe out the planet for profit and take us back to the Dark Ages controlling the narrative?
The Huge Web of Propaganda and Mind Control
Media Companies
Below find a list of very destructive media companies and other organizations that purposely either cherry-pick and exaggerate news stories or outright spread disinformation about minorities, immigrants, liberal women, LGBTQ people, climate scientists and other scientists, and non-Christian religions, etc to divide the country and fan the flames of the culture wars that they and their owners and the powerful people create. They spread false information and even made-up graphs sparking fear that the economy is failing when the economy of the USA has recovered faster and is faring better than any country in the world, fear of rises in immigrant and black violent crime in New York and Chicago when it is, in fact, higher per capita in rural America, fear of out-of-control illegal immigration carrying on about big caravans heading that way. When easily duped "patriots" went to the border to help out, they were surprised to find nothing. These media outlets fuel right-winged ugliness, nationism, fascism, uncontrolled consumption, and xenophobia throughout the world. The world would be better off if Murdoch, the Barclays, and Steve Bannon, and the people associated with them did not exist.
There is a growing interest in the USA toward cybersecurity and the use of the military to monitor and prevent harmful hacking. Everyone's worried about cyber threats, but media organizations and other entities below have hacked into people's feelings of insecurity to instill fear and intolerance for political gain and profit for decades and they continue to do so. Their hate spreads throughout the world. If there were a hell, they would be burning there. If your hands-tied government and superheroes don't protect you, you must protect yourself. Therefore, always check their information wherever it appears using objective fact-checking sites such as PolitiFact, Snopes, and Media Bias/Fact Check.

Other Notable Mentions (Global/Online Platforms)
- RT (formerly Russia Today) (though based in Russia, it has been criticized for spreading disinformation in the USA, often aligning with right-wing narratives). Note this state-sponsored Russian entity is funding much of the division. It's cheaper and less dangerous than war to weaken the USA and take it down. Why not? What good is the US Military with America's biggest weakness is the lack of education in the USA and their hate for others?
- Zero Hedge (global readership, but particularly influential in the U.S.)
- Sputnik
Important Considerations:
- I am a left-leaning progressive, but I do have to mention some left-leaning outlets, including possibly Palmer Report, Jimmy Dore, CounterPunch, and the Gray Zone. They have been accused of exaggeration to control the public narrative. So fact-checking using PolitiFact, Snope, and Media Bias/Fact Check should be used if you doubt the reliability of what is being presented. Others that the far right calls leftist are not. They are central at best. Leftists in Europe laugh at the weak middle-of-the-road leftism in the USA.
Warning for University Students. There are student organizations that need to be exposed and shunned.
Your universities are being infiltrated by right-winged fascist organizations, many disguised as religious organizations. I have visited the websites of 95 percent of the universities in all 50 states and found that almost all have Heritage (Project 2025) Clubs. They don't have lots of members but they are trying to get a road in to poison the minds of youth there. You can recognize them because they have buzz words like "Life", "Enlightened", "Freedom", "Liberty", and "Heritage or Federalist" in their names. Another is "Turning Point". One is even a meditation group, known as Fa Long Gong (a group related to the Epoch Time's right-wing rag). Yes, they represent "turning", alright--turning into regressive and hateful racists, fascists, and christian nationalists, etc.
They represent the dinosaurs unable to face progress in society, wanting to hang on to privilege, and fighting their own extinction. Almost all have Christian nationalist, fascist, and xenophobic plans that they are trying to push on your campuses. Evangelical groups such as the SouthernBaptists, who also hide their nationalist, fascist, and xenophobic leanings under the fake Jesus Loves You smiles, are found on almost every campus. They spread misinformation, push ignorance, and intolerance, and they try to sell you forgiveness for not being as perfect as Jesus. Don't be a sucker. Theirs is a never-ending sales plan that keeps you feeling bad about yourself your whole life and ends on your deathbed. Believe me. You can have a much happier life without all the inner conflict they create within you and cash in on.
Religious Denominations and Organizations Spreading Misinformation and Spreading Hate and Division Throughout the Country.
The Catholics and Baptists, intolerant religions similar to the Taliban in their way, are the two largest denominations in the USA who do their best to spread their superstition and intolerance outward, even to countries in Africa with the urging of missionaries that promote the death penalties to gay people. They should be targeted. All denominations and religious organizations in the USA should lose their tax-free status. Why should the USA give any breaks to organizations that seek to weaken it?
1. The Southern Baptist Convention as well as many more Pentecostal denominations (speaking in tongues nonsense ones), similar to those like Lakewood Church and The Potter's House and TV evangelists like Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, and Jim Bakker. Attending church in many places is like watching a live version of InfoWars on Sundays (without the pack of beer). I, myself, was an ordained Baptist preacher at the age of 19. I did not have to know anything. I just had to be "called by God." My calling has now led me to say without a doubt that this convention has missed the mark.
2. Some groups within the American Catholic Church even the Pope had disavowed.
3. Their related associations, all with pretty names, like Jesus Loves You smiles, hide hate and division: Moral Majority, Focus on the Family, American Family Association, Opus Dei, The Knights of Columbus, Catholic Vote, The Catholic League.
The US Constitution calls for the separation of church and state, yet these churches and their organizations want to control the state and you (See Project 2025) and they want their tax-free benefits, too.
Poisonous and Harmful Social Media Influencers to be Targeted and Rejected.
Characteristics of Far-Right Influence:
- Racial Nationalism: Many of these figures promote ideologies centered around preserving white identity and are overtly anti-immigrant.
- Conspiracy Theories: They spread various disinformation narratives, such as the "Great Replacement," QAnon, and anti-vaccine/anti-mask conspiracies.
- Platform Bans: Several of these individuals have been banned from major platforms like YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook but have found alternative spaces like Gab, Telegram, and Parler to continue their influence and make money selling hate.
- The following Influencers are extremely poisonous to the minds of the undereducated and less informed. They help create and spread baseless conspiracy theories. Some are known to have been paid by foreign countries to spread their content to interfere with Americans' ability to make good voting decisions: Richard Spencer, Benny Johnson, Nick Fuentes, Laura Southern, Stephen Molyneux, Milo Yiannopoulos, Gavin McInnes, Pau Joseph Watson, Faith Goldy, Jared Taylor, Tommy Robins, Alex Jones, Elijah Schaffer, Jack Posobiec, VDARE, E. Michael Jones, Ann Coulter, Ali Alexander, Laura Loomer, Jackson Hinkle, Tim Pool, Patric Casey, James Allsup, and Sean Hannity, some of whom treated to trips to Russia, as well as a myriad of loudmouthed Maga politicians.
- There are now even "Maga Communists" who are crazy for Russia, China, and North Korea. Ha. First, there is nothing communist about right-wing Maga except for their ability to take advantage of poorly informed and the ignorant (Note that Mao said communism was easy to pull off in China people the people were "blank" and you could write anything in their brains like a blank chalkboard). Second, there is little communism left in their communist parties. Mao would vomit if he saw the corrupt, money-hungry, status-oriented China today. You need to know that, by and large, the general population in the USA today knows next to nothing about what communism let alone fascism is. Anyone calling himself a "maga communist" has his head up his you know what.
- These influencers are known to want to fan the flames of xenophobia, division, and civil war there. There are many more new ones showing up every day because there are many hate-filled frustrated undereducated populations who love to hear things that make them feel better about themselves and give them reasons (usually fake) to blame others for their problems. For example, the former president's advisor Papadopoulos and previous Russia News Sputnick channel reporter, Lee Stranahan, have recently set up a pro-Russia website called the Intelligencer spreading right-wing Russian propaganda calling Ukraine the enemy of the USA. These influencers and others like them are a large and present danger to the USA because so much of the population is undereducated and unwilling or unable to distinguish fact from fiction and they lap up their propaganda. Researchers have found that people generally read whatever will prove what they believe or want to believe regardless of whether it is based on fact or not. These are the people your "crazy" relatives are reading, watching, falling for, and repeating. On the far left, there is Redacted Tonight and The Palmer Report that mislead, not CNN or MSNBC, who are from being left-winged.
Who has news you can trust? These are generally trustworthy:
USA Facts, Reuters, Associated Press, ABC, BBC, The Hill, Newsweek. There are some interesting and fun influencers, Rogan on the right and Hansanabi on the left. They are more commentary-oriented.
According to one study out of UCLA, "if viewers spent the same amount of time viewing Fox's Special Report (which is surprisingly central right) as ABC and NBC nightly news, they would get a good balance.
Final Remarks
From my point of view, when choosing political candidates to support, news media outlets to follow, and social media personalities to watch, you will benefit by choosing the kindest only. If they can't be kind, you know they are poisonous. When it comes to religions that pretend to be kind, look at the real-world results of their talk. Also, ask yourself, "Do they make me feel accepted the way I am and make me feel right the way I am?" Is the result of what they are saying good for all humanity equally? If not, they are not kind.
Right-wing politics in the USA uses all these brainwashed people to make the wealthy more money, control the population, and maintain an economically, environmentally, and socially unjust system. As long as the huge misinformation and disinformation matrix exists, democracy in the USA is at risk. Democracy does not work unless a country's population is well-educated and informed of the facts. Democracy is currently struggling in this environment. One election isn't going to do it. We need to stop buying what they are selling, stop all church attendance, and refuse to participate in their games for 3 to 6 election periods. Renegades, you need to collectively harness your passive-aggression power.
