It is pretty easy to spot the bias in MSM if you still have your critical faculties about you. I haven’t read newspapers or watched TV since early 2000’s. So now when I ocassionally see coverage with my arguably obsolete frame of what objective reporting should be I can point out factual error, bias, and vested interests in seconds.
But much like in advertisement the repetitive nature of installing fear and sowing divisiveness takes a hold when tuning in to it daily I’m sure. Glad most of the American people are seeing they have been fed bullshit this cycle. Talking to 50+ Uber drivers when I was over in the USA in 2017 after Trump won it struck me people just want to live their lives and have more in common than not on both sides of the aisle.
Could in general not care less about which side wins as party positions have drastically shifted through the years. I’m a one issue pro bitcoin voter so I’d have voted Trump this time. And Dems will undoubtedly co-opt bitcoin in 4 years like nothing happened if it brings them to power again. Really curious to see what the UK stance will be towards Trumps policies. Pro bitcoin will keep London relevant as a financial center and move them further away from doomed centralizing hungry Europe - we’ll see.
On a personal note as Dutch citizen facing new capital gains tax regulations and an exit tax possibly within 2 years I’m actively planning to emigrate the continent altogether. F that - sure as hell won’t be held financially hostage by my country of birth. I am voting with my feet 🦶
