| 6. The "Both Sides" construction |
|
has been the biggest wing-nut boom ever. It's even bigger than "Liberal Media."
Through "Both Sides," right-wing extremism has been mainstreamed. Several examples have already been listed.
Of course, from my perspective, "my side" is NEVER mentioned in the corporate media. The "Both Siders" have successfully limited public debate to fascism vs. conservatism.
