The media is very much establishment. So, even liberal media is old and establishment liberal. Old and establishment liberal are the kinds of people who tend to trade power with the old and established conservatives. (Or, at least they did until the establishment conservatives went nuts and went Tea Party then Trump.)

If you can expect to regularly get power every few years, there's no reason to take radical action.

As for Hollywood, it's even more conservative than most media. They want to make movies that appeal to audiences worldwide. They don't want to challenge their audiences, or offend them. They just want their money.

There has to be something we can do. What they did prevented Americans from overthrowing their government when they should have, leading to tyranny and the destabilization of the U.S. Perhaps if we created new franchises that opposed and refuted their paradigm, we could help our people move on from their awful garbage.

No you don't. Walk away from the scam.

Source: threw far too much money down said scam.

It's not a scam, it's just a stock. I don't believe MOASS will happen, but as a stock in and of itself, it's not so bad
