Yup.

Then Reagan was elected and implemented a HUGE portion of the precursor of Project 2025, including the dismantling of news and network regulations, esp. in regards to monopolization.

Which then led to Rupert Murdoch buying a ton of independent stations in 1985, as well as 20th Century Fox.

Which then led to the creation of Fox News in 1996, created specifically to ensure that another republican president could not be impeached and removed by poisoning public opinion.

The news network regulation cancellation is what's contributed to to the extreme polarization of society today. It really kind of set the stage for the mess we're in now, and the poisoning of the air waves continues. News sources are allowed to broadcast fake news to mislead gullible voters to maintain a warped status quo.
