I suspect Ty dislikes it because it effectively argues that our establishment media is a joke which should be ignored, and the politicians who dance on it for the audience’s titillation a mix of jesters and propagandists. A lot of the left is scared about what happens when the media is no longer respected. How will we control people? You know who else worries about that for the same reason? The right... most notably those the left calls, quite amusingly, authoritarians.
As always, there are no truth tellers versus liars. At least not in any way that matters. Just two groups of people who want to control everything in different ways.

Yes, if there is anything that the left stands for, it is controlling people through the mass media. It's uncanny how well you understand us. I shall have to report on this to my comrades.
