the point is US state media wouldn’t be “Dem messaging”. it’d constitute a diverse slate of high quality noncommercial media—think Voice of America, BBC, CBC, etc. i hesitate to say NPR because it has such particular pathologies, pathologies that derive from the fact it is mostly *donor* financed 1/

to break down the problem a bit, there are (at least) two approaches to our present media catastrophe: 1. fight fire with fire, our propaganda to counter theirs; or 2. reshape the media to be environment to be tendentious and propagandistic. 2/

obviously both are likely necessary, but in the longer term i think only the second project can save us. 3/

(i think “democrats make you richer”, while it has the virtue by certain measures at least of being true, is messaging that has been tried quite a lot and proven easily countered by negativity-biased messaging that calls attention to people’s hardships and blames enemies.) /fin
