I'd have to agree in part with what you've said, but rather than characterize what the Leftist MSM does as a smokescreen, I think, misses a bigger
point, i.e., that they are intentionally driving a wedge to widen the divides due in large part to the fact that it is profitable for them; as the
hatred on all sides amps up, every story is click bait. Its all about eyeballs and advertising dollars. And its working!
But to another point;
Look at the racial mistrust, the male-female mistrust, the religious mistrust.... turn off CNN and Fox --- they don't report the news anymore
- just panels of talking heads to sell us on who we should be mad at.
Those divisions weren't created by the MSM, they (the divides) are widened, by the incessant drone of reporting outrage and outrageous statements made
by people in the various camps. Nonetheless, the divides are "real" and the bright lines of division into hostile camps are only getting brighter and
wider.
This is rapidly becoming the most polarized country on the face of the earth; its starting to remind me of multiple Northern Irelands.
