Eric Weinstein reminds us that much of the “news media” is in the business of keeping us polarized and then offering us membership on one team or the other in a national cage match. Much of our news media (but not “The Hill,” which featured Weinstein for this story), fails to report on the following big story: Our “news media” has become a predator of the United States, convincing us that being a patriot requires us to hate “the other.” Eric Weinstein urged

the news media to end the “business model that is based upon dividing the country” in the wake of last week’s deadly pro-Trump mob attack on the Capitol. In a Friday interview on Hill.TV’s “Rising,” Weinstein, who also hosts “The Portal” podcast, said that the U.S. is now increasingly divided into two “cults,” one right-wing and the other on the left.
