Unfortunately it will take us actually taking action against propagandists, but since they’re “the press” they get a free pass to do whatever they want.
It’s a horrible scenario to be in, because you definitely don’t want to open that can of worms with the current political system. Who gets to decide what is propaganda and what isn’t? I could easily see a Trump administration labeling all media that isn’t right wing media as “propaganda unfit for consumption.”
So we rely on the intelligence of the common individual to see through the bullshit… As we all know common sense isn’t common :(
We really need to come back to reality as a country. Unfortunately it will take another thirty years.
