Anyone paying attention to current world politics, or anything really, has noticed how far beyond any semblance of sane discourse or a fair approach to things we have landed. I cant recall the last time we have been in a position where there was not a single unifying voice with any type of reach or audience that pushed the idea of understanding between two sides or even attempted to provide an unbiased position that takes into account all information. Those that live off of attention, online personalities, journalists, news sites, politicians, media, etc. have realized that accumulating extreme positions of one political isle and presenting news or ideas inside that framework "sells" far better. They realized how to profit from peoples need for quick answers that fit their bias. It doesnt have to be true and most of the time its not. It just has to be in favor of their position and in opposition of their adversary. Its very easy to lie to people that want to be lied to and forgive suit
