Maybe use a different term than "American Media," because when I think "American Media," NONE of it is legacy media. It's channels like Gray Zone.
Gray Zone is just one of many. I agree with this channel on foreign affairs and its disdain for forever war. But these guys are "progressives" which means they're part of the problem.
Libertarians, like me, don't expect perfect leaders, like progressives do. We expect corrupt leaders, and so we believe in restricting the powers of the state to the extent consistent with civil order.
Libertarians understand that there's zero guarantee that elected officials will be saintly geniuses who understand everything better than everybody else. We know that leaders are human, and therefore flawed, and therefore should be given as little power as possible. No HHS, DHS, DOE (Energy or Education), USDA, FTC, FEC, FCC, ... Very long list of unnecessary and dangerous departments.
If you guys would turn against nanny government, you'd be libertarians! But you fight for one side with your left hand and for the other side with your right.
