Defund the media. Stop watching/reading or use an ad blocker, cut cable/satellite subscriptions (they make money on every subscription even if you never watch), and make sure you only share archive links so they don't clicks/$$$. Boycott advertisers: https://stopmediabiasnow.com/advertisers-lists/

Same here. My daughter likes to see the good in people and so is especially susceptible to people manipulating her, so I make sure to give her the counterpoint and explain exactly what this person is doing. I actually let my kids continue watching these people so they can see the manipulation real time so that it's easier to pick out next time.

For example, she used to watch "Adam Ruins Everything", which I can understand - I used to watch it when it first came out, too. But then I show her how he takes the "sourced" information (there's always links on the screen he knows no one will ever read), and only presents the half of the information that agrees with his position. She doesn't watch Adam Hanover anymore because as someone who likes to see the good in people, she also gets very turned off when she finds out that someone has been lying to her, and I'm very proud of her for being able to see that.

I had the misfortune of turning on my car radio the other day. Then the ads on the South Park pandemic special (which mostly sucked).

It's even more jarring than usual post plandemic. Blatant propaganda.
