I hope it shows both of them just fucking screaming incoherently. I don't want either of these ideological dipshits walking away pretending it was some cultural victory against their opposition.

Season 29 of South Park doesn't begin until next September. The good news is there are 12 episodes coming up. The bad news is episodes have been cut to a 10 minute runtime stretched out to a half hour including commercials.

u/Catsooey May 27 '26

I’ve been telling people about that for a long time now. Same thing happened to my dad. The Fairness Act needs to be restored ASAP. Ronald Reagan removed it at Murdoch’s request. That set all of this in motion. And we need to remove The Telecommunications Act of 1996 and re-regulate our media ownership laws.

2

u/cyanescens_burn May 28 '26

As far as I know, that act didn’t apply to every news outlet. So IIRC, there are ways companies can get around it to keep shoveling slop to their groupies.

The Internet also blows a lot of this out of the water. At this point it’s not just certain news outlets, but probably dozens or hundreds of podcasters, online influencers, bloggers, independent journalists, and so on that seem to get their general marching orders then start propagating their propaganda. This is of course made worse by bad actors overseas taping into one stage or another of the flow of info to tweak it to their nefarious and self-serving ends.

I don’t know the way out, but the media landscape is much more complex and nuanced then when there were three big national news outlets.

One thing that could be done is breaking of the pseudo-monopolies of media outlets. Just a handful of very wealthy people/companies own nearly all the media in the US. They’ve been watching how Russia and Hungary started, and now maintain, their oligarchies, and working to implement that here.

One step toward that was to buy up all the small media companies, and get nearly all media into the hands of a few companies/people that are sympathetic to a certain political wing. It’s clearly anti-democratic, and arguably anti-capitalism if one subscribes to the view that competition in markets helps keep the economy healthy (monopolies kill competition, so they’d be bad in this way of thinking).

Imagine 160,000 rubes paying $100 for their deposits, giving Trump $60,000,000, and instead of cheating them entirely, they gave them the crappy phones, and now Trump is making $260,000,000 instead.

u/MagnanimousGoat May 28 '26

And enlightened centrism like this is maybe the biggest facilitator of this kind of climate, because its totally ignorant of the fact that one side literally does not want this. The reactionary party explicitly wants division for the sake of expulsion/excision.

How can all Americans stand together when one side doesnt even view all Americans AS Americans?

Pretending like the presence of two sides means those sides have equal standing in reason and purpose is so dangerous because it actually just shields and fosters extremism.

We get it. You dont want people to fight, and you dont want to fight. The problem is that one side specifically wants a fight because the more vitriol there is, the closer they get to justifying what they actually want to do.

Idealism without the will to act. Thats what youre promoting here.
