Trump Says Murdochs Are Potential Tiktok Deal Partners

I might argue that it was the perception that the media and universities were liberal that led to the conservative backlash/Trump 2.0.

You can’t be an edgy conservative comedian(which by some measures is what built the support for Trump 2.0) that speaks truth to power if the whole information ecosystem is conservative.

No one wants to listen to a conservative leaning conspiracy theorist talking about the deep state when the deep state is inarguably conservative.

Obviously one goal here would be to prevent movements like #blacklivesmatter and #metoo from going viral, but beyond that? You could promote the most divisive voices on the left and the most moderate/unifying voices on the right (though this is tough because the divisive voices on the right are the popular ones, but something like this)

It is interesting to think back to the eighties when Reagan won 525 electoral college votes. But there are ways I think the culture was starting to slide left that continued to basically a few years ago.
