Everyone wants to go back to the '90s, when the partisanship of the press was better-disguised and even more pernicious than now, when their "soft censorship" is now right out in the open. Every time there's a new media breakthrough, conservatives hop on it, and the establishment does its best to weed them out. They're now trying to do the same thing to the Internet that they did to cable in the '70s and '80s, and what they did to radio in the '30s, which transferred seamlessly to television as the big radio networks dominated television.
Government censorship in the USA has been around for a long time. It's just harder to hide, and they don't even TRY to hide it, any more. Now they use "hate speech" and "misinformation" mislabeling to justify their heavy-handedness, but people who think - people who know their history - see right through this end-run around the 1st Amendment, which has ALWAYS been a threat to unchecked abuse of power by the state.

It's not just the Chinese disinformation. It's the authoritarian suppression of anything that varied in any way from the Chinese disinformation. "Our" media chose to believe the one guy who had something to lose from word getting out, Peter Daszak. And Daszak worked in close cooperation with Fauci to "fortify" the coverup, with the full cooperation of corporate media who showed no inclination to do any real fact-checking, unless it was to ask Peter Daszak or Anthony Fauci what THEY thought.
These blunders by once-trusted (foolishly, in hindsight) corporate media, of which FOX is also a part, have lost them all trust and confidence by the half of the country that's open to competing ideas and judging them on their merits, rather than being spoon-fed by self-appointed arbiters of truth. Even now, YouTube has a banner at the top of the comments directing users to Google-approved propaganda on COVID.
FOX gets more of the big stories right than MSM, but FOX is still corporate, and still helps present an MSM united front on numerous topics. We don't even know what stories THEY leave out because it might piss somebody off in their hierarchy, which overlaps those of other legacy networks.

She's wrong on American culture. The fear never went away. Those kids in school in the '80s still believe all the nuclear-freeze propaganda, and now they're politicians and administrators. In their younger days, it was the Spotted Owl and Snail-Darter on the enviro front. Now it's CO2-driven global warming. Same people. Same fears. Same confirmation bias. Same mix of half-truths that add up to lies.
At the same time, it has been revealed that estimates by hawkish conservatives during the '80s over-estimated Soviet capabilities by a factor of 10, in order to justify a military big enough to police the entire planet (poorly, arbitrarily, brutally and often greedily).
But otherwise, she's spot on about how the global warming crowd, who pretend they're champions of the disadvantaged and dispossessed, are systematically attacking access to clean, cheap energy, which ALWAYS hurts the disadvantaged and dispossessed the most. No regard. And yes, if you make all other forms of energy prohibitively expensive, people WILL go back to burning wood! Unintended consequences that are so predictable that I'm going to stop calling them "unintended," because if these policies come from leaders who know better than we mere serfs, then they KNOW these consequences are around the corner, so it's willful ignorance, stupidity, greed, or sheer malevolence driving it.
Now for the nuance: Rocket-stove mass heating systems burn wood all the way down to NOTHING, using an insulated burn chamber that gets up to refractory temperatures, so that the only exhaust is CO, CO2, H2O. Take that super-hot exhaust gas and run it through an earth mass, heat up that earth mass, and you only have to burn wood for 1/10 the amount of time, and there's zero particulates coming out. It's quite clean and up to 90% more efficient than the most efficient, government-approved wood-heat systems on the market. But you kind of have to build it, yourself, because the establishment doesn't know what to make of ACTUAL green tech that doesn't involve billions of dollars in subsidies and millions of dollars in kickbacks.
