Following Donald Trump's election victory, Glenn Beck urged Democratic voters to reconsider their perceptions of Trump's supporters, arguing that conservatives seek to return power to the people rather than impose authoritarian control. He emphasized the need for dialogue across political lines and denounced the media's portrayal of conservatives as anti-democratic. Meanwhile, Media Matters' president expressed concern over Trump's win, attributing it to a misinformation ecosystem that fuels a belief in an anti-democratic conspiracy among Trump's supporters. Author Carol Off, in her new book, explores how language has been manipulated in political discourse, making it difficult for people to agree on basic terms like 'freedom' and 'democracy.' This transformation of language contributes to societal division, which Off argues undermines meaningful conversation. Finally, the Washington Examiner's Paul Bedard continues to highlight perceived media bias against conservative viewpoints in his ongoing series.
