It’s just so easy. Once you control the media you control the opposition and all you have to do is pick a topic that is hot but with an objectively clear answer (let’s say, abortion) and then post media hit pieces on opposite sides “educating” watchers/readers about this horrible thing. Then post hit pieces calling the opposition wrong and evil. Then give people power to shut down whatever topics on social media they don’t agree with and suddenly you have thousands of useful idiots that serve up hot and fresh propaganda for free.
