Progressivism v Conservatism: How the media fuels the battle

The modern mainstream media is one that is very obviously a pro-liberal, progressive media. It disdains conservatism. The divide between progressivism and conservatism is increasing. The progressive side is giving more voice and is approved by the media, whereas the conservative is portrayed a radical and not to be trusted by the media. However, whenever a labelled conservative is taking a more liberal, progressive, stance, such a person is being applauded as a proper, right-thinking person.

The media achieves this by only showing one side of the media and by using twisted definitions of highly emotionally charged (HEC) words to debunk the views of conservatives, scandalise conservative views, and even accuse conservatives as hypocritical and bigoted.

The media has instilled many assumptions that are completely erroneous, but generally accepted by educated masses, whatever educated may mean. The definition of 'educated' is one that can be highly contentious, and the same applies to many other terms. Definitions of words can be twisted to induce people to accept certain assumptions and to silence people.

That is why this blog exists - to dispel any confusion people have.

Enjoy reading at you pleasure! xoxo
