It seems like the alt-right fascist-leaning people are more dedicated to free speech than the left-leaning liberals. Oh, the irony. I'm surprised how the liberals still didn't learn the lesson after Trump was elected. Trump would have never been elected if it wasn't for the silencing and ridiculing campaigns of the liberal media. Turns out people don't like being patronised, what a surprise.

I don't think most people have the desire or awareness to come to any conclusion about what the 'liberal media' was doing. I think it's more about believing what they were told by someone who spoke on the matter with an air of authority.

If you ask the average person on the street about the improprieties of the media leading up to the election, they're not going to go into the details of the DNC emails and explain the cozy relationship between them and the media. They never read them. They're going to say the media is 'rigged' because that's what they were told over and over until the notion stuck with them.
