Left critiques of corporate media serve reactionary propaganda purposes too [contrarian]
Bannon sometimes plays audio montages of MSNBC and CNN shows being “brought to you by Pfizer”—the clear implication being that they cannot be trusted because they are in the pay of these companies. It’s rule “by the wealthy, for the wealthy—against you,” he says. “Until you wake up.” When he does this, it strikes me that he sounds like Noam Chomsky. Or Chris Smalls, the Amazon Labor Union leader known for his EAT THE RICH jacket. Or, for that matter, me. But, as always in the Mirror World, nothing is as it seems.
XREF: This mirrors the author's own thinking and Chomsky's media critique, but applied right-wing; relates to the broader 'Mirror World' concept of how far-right borrows left rhetoric.
