News Bias and the New Regime

People often blame the polarization of news sources as a major problem in American politics today. This is wrong. Overtly biased polarized news is actually a good thing. You can take the sources from both sides, consider their bias, then find the truth somewhere in between. People think that before the modern polarized media landscape, the news was less biased. But that is not the case.

In the mid to late twentieth century, there were just a handful of TV channels, all reporting the same thing. It wasn't because there was no bias; it was because they all shared the same bias. You were only getting one side of the story. Without the “polarization” of alternative sources, you never saw the view from the other side. People were seeing biased news all along, but they didn't realize it was biased, because there were no alternative sources to tell the other side of the story.

This was top-down by design. The government had tight control over the media because television broadcasting was new, expensive, and easy to control. The only story the public saw on TV was the regime-approved story.

"The regime" was not necessarily Democrat or Republican, but rather the uni-party coalition of powerful figures from both sides that has been in control since World War II. The uni-party is still in control (of most of the government, deep state, corporations, NGOs, etc.), but they are losing their power because they cannot control the narrative any longer.

With the internet and decentralization of media there are too many alternative news sources, so the regime cannot control a single narrative any longer—though they may try, as they did during Covid. The regime now has to use a heavier hand to censor the flow of information on the internet. But the more they show their hand, the more normies will wake up and become red-pilled to the nature of this uni-party regime controlling them.

It is inevitable that the post-World War II regime, the globalist uni-party that had been controlling America, is going to fall and lose their power. They have failed the American people, become too greedy in serving their own interests at the expense of the masses. A new regime is rising to power to overtake them, a regime that is more in line with reality and doesn't rely on lies and censorship for narrative control. Such narrative control is impossible in the age of the internet. The new regime will inevitably have to be more based in truth because the truth can no longer be hidden.

This all never could have happened without the polarization of biased news.
