Right wing media in general
Mainstream media that sides with repubs and is basically against the rest of humanity
Propaganda is an incredibly effective weapon against a population that is bombarded daily with nonsense from those who know exactly what they're doing and are sociopathic at best.
I will reserve my hatred for these entities.

(100,062 posts)Facebook because 10 years of largely unchecked propaganda regarding vaccines got us here (and they *STILL* are not doing anything to deplatform or debunk the people responsible). Oprah for not only promoting quack anti-vaccine "specialists" but also for giving people the idea that you could bypass traditional medicine and be your own doctor using Google.
That is a huge contributing factor to what got us here.

I do learn about the alignments from Google but every time I think I have nailed it the Doctor (who is trained unlike myself) comes in and says nope it this other thing - not even close. I have given up trying to play Doctor with myself

(100,062 posts)But Oprah did promote a lot of anti-vaccine garbage and junk science on her show, not to mention unleashing Dr. Phil on us (or as Lewis Black calls him, Dr. Fuck Phil) we can''t let her get away with that!

Sorry but the days of people being able to push BS are over. Make them liable for what is on their platform. How many times can you screen fire in a movie theater and get away with it?
