Discussion on Right-Wing Media Trends
On MSNBC's The Weeknight, Angelo Carusone discusses a "disturbing new trend in the right-wing media" regarding the rebranding of authoritarianism.
There's this sort of new narrative that's percolating and being revised, something that's, to me, the most concerning piece about the story here.
According to Carusone, the right-wing media portrays Trump's actions as a crackdown on cities, reinforcing the idea that Democrats and liberals are dangerous.
- Trump's actions are seen as a response to the perceived threat from Democrats and liberals.
- The media is viewed as part of the "shadow network" around Democrats.
Carusone finds the excitement around this narrative disturbing, but notes that the rebranding of authoritarianism is the most concerning aspect.
