Divided States of America (2017) - "In a two-part series, PBS FRONTLINE investigates the partisanship that gridlocked Washington and the polarized America, fueled by toxic rhetoric in the conservative media." [CC] (1:55 x 2)[+1477]

NP.Link

The problem is pointed out in the top post:

u/howsci manipulated the title to lie to users.

FRONTLINE investigates the partisanship that gridlocked Washington in the Obama era, and the polarized America that Donald Trump inherits as president.

The first thing you see loading the page. He inserted the shit about "conservative media".

The lack of self-awareness of the left in how they view the increasing partisanship as solely the right's fault is staggering. I've had an LA liberal lecture (read REEEEEE) me a while ago on how the right in America were evil and stupid and were dividing America, all the while turning into a caricature of the modern day liberal which T_D, SPS, and conservative/classic liberal YouTube channels would love to rip apart. This guy even went onto policy specifics of how RethugliKKKans are evil... All of which a quick viewing of a PJW/Crowder/Styx/Sargon video would've easily debunked.

And of course he ended the note with basically saying "be careful with your online rhetoric because Americans will flog you on the Internet for your conservatism!" Yeah thanks for telling me something I haven't seen being discussed on T_D and other places a hundred times.

Looking through the guests of the Frontline article:

New Yorker

Atlantic

Washington Post

There is no "conservative media" interviewed.

IT'S YOUR FAULT WE'RE ALWAYS FIGHTING

These idiots have no idea how much their rhetoric sounds like domestic abuse. Hey u/howsci, have you stopped beating your wife yet?
