"Oh, sure, I recognize this snarky grouchiness as what it is... part of today's viciously treasonous phenomenon called "culture war." It all fits into a tsunami of know-nothing rage expressed by the Murdochians, their anti-science, anti-progress rejection of all possibility of human improvability."
I'm assuming he means Rupert Murdoch! I'm not sure of the US context, but in Australia his son's publications are for many people their only recourse for freedom of speech, repudiating socialist 'culture wars' and an escape from the domestic mainstream media echo chamber.
For goodness sake, The majority of the Australian MSM and the $1.2 billion a year taxpayer funded Australian Broadcasting Corporation, want to establish a 'press council' to outlaw News Limited publications and any other publication that challenges the prevailing socialist false narrative.
But perhaps I'm one of the few that still believes free speech includes that which you don't agree with.
