News shows, networks, major publishing outlets, politicians, and pundits.

When you invite conspiracy theorists and fascists and white supremacists onto your shows or into a conversation you are saying they have a valid point of view and are a necessary part of discourse.
We have to stop treating these conspiracy theorists, cultists, and fascist movements like they are anything besides radicalized groups that continually spew propaganda that will further radicalize others and poison culture.

Analyze them, dismantle them, work AROUND them.
But any conversation about this would be incomplete if we did not mention that many outlets understand featuring conspiracy theorists and fascists and bad faith actors also drives their bottom line as it leads to outrage and widespread sharing of their content.
It's time for media and politicians to decide whether they're interested in profit and power or a society that isn't teetering on the brink of collapse and widespread, unabated violence.

We're in a dangerous time. Things are not "normal." Make a choice.
