which lately is not often enough to get a good grip on the direction of the rhetoric.

But it is what has changed the culture, at least in my lifetime. Starting in the 1980's and ignored maliciously and vehemently by those in urban areas. The thing is that the effect of the propaganda is now multigenerational.

For it to be changed, this is the group that must be addressed. And it is why I applaud Gov Newsom for going into that fray. Nobody even bothers to challenge all the lies that are spouted- too many in one sentence to even address. from this grass roots.

I listen to NPR and PBS at homes and I have Sirius XM in my car and as an app so that I can listen to CNN and MSNBC and the Ag Radio stations along with various hate talking heads when I have the strength. But lately, that is gone, I simply can't take it. But pretending that nobody listens to it?

Thanks for your response orleans. I work in ag and have lived in rural areas my adult life.
