I was wondering if that's where you were going in part.

I think it's a bit of the phrasing; you stated an opinion that's vague to the point of tiptoeing towards the potentially loaded question: "who's independent media?"

It's not uncommon in the conservative media sphere to see a similar (typically series) of leading ambiguous questions. They're never genuine, it's always in the style of:

You know what the best operating system is? I'll tell you what the best operating system is, it's Linux. Do you know why Linux is the best operating system? It's because it's got penguins and penguins are great! Do you know why penguins are great? I mean, can you think of a more iconic bird? That's why, that is why ... and Big Microsoft is out to destroy your hopes and dreams aren't they? Yes, yes they absolutely are, with their soulless Windows operating system that's manufactured by the flying spaghetti monster. Now obviously folks, only use Linux if you support freedom not the unholy flying spaghetti monster. The flying spaghetti monster will destroy America. It's its one true mission. Support freedom, support penguins, stop the flying spaghetti monster.

I think it's made a bunch of if antsy lol
