He called the initial 2009 tech start-up that he co-founded Mockingbird.
After the corporate media's Trump and Russigate orgy of nonsense, will "Muskie's tears", "computers count votes better than people do", "Iraq attacked us on 9/11", and "Dean's scream" narratives still work to control the populace?

However, my gut instinct is to welcome even channeled dissent over no dissent because I think ideas themselves are most important, and the idea that positive change is actually possible after Obama's administration did everything possible to condition us otherwise is perhaps the most important idea of all. We regular people have no chance of changing anything for the better whatsoever if we cannot envision any possibility of changing anything for the better. Because of this, I would much rather run Sanders and lose to Trump than run Biden and beat Trump, simply to give Sanders' ideas a chance to permeate minds of people who have been brainwashed into thinking the only choice that can ever exist is choosing Tweedle Dumb over Tweedle Dumber, and thus they need to self-triangulate their own sense of "possibilism."
How about your instinct on this, Cordelia? You have a great nose for this sort of stuff.

Nah...not really; whatever 'nose' I have was learned during early, formative years spent around more ‘old fashioned’, rough-and-tumble type newspapermen & politicians in a small pond; then moving to the big pond. Washington changed a lot when the Reagan/Bush regime took charge and I doubt the environment has gotten any friendlier during any of the administrations in the years since—maybe just high-stake tactics and chess moves changing through speed-generated technology. For personal sanity I read/watch very little media news now so I have few informed opinions to offer, though I mostly agree with what you expressed succinctly in your post above--it gives better aim and purpose to our descendants.
Facile fairy tale pandering to youthful idealists (who should be insulted by it). Hopefully much of the target audience will get to the point of realization -- that both Establishment parties are criminal -- sooner than the earlier generations, or rather, those among us that are 'woke'* and no longer clinging to the false narratives shoveled by Establishment.
