In reply to the discussion: Democrats aren't going to win elections again until they build a well-oiled information ecosystem [View all]BannonsLiver
(17,790 posts)33. TV is for the 80s and 90s
Its dead or dying as a driving force in elections. What the OP is talking about are podcasts and content creators on YouTube and TikTok and the like. The right has an endless supply of these and it creates an echo chamber they use to indoctrinate, young men in particular. Its also about learning the art of information warfare which they use to great effect. Throwing hands up and saying everything is impossible is a sure fire way to lose w whole bunch of elections moving forward.

I think social media and podcasts are actually more influential than Fox News.

Agree. We cannot rely on any existing media to refute the lies and accurately report the news.

Right and they are " monetized". I have tried to explain this to my very gullible friend time and time again.

"Information ecosystem" is horrible babble. Wanting it to be "well-oiled" is crappy mixing of metaphors.
