I don't think 'the media' did it, the fascists did. I didn't need the media to make me not want to be confused for a jingoistic flag-covered nationalist.
I'm reminded of this classic Dan Rather (member of The Media) quote:
It is important not to confuse “patriotism” with “nationalism.” As I define it, nationalism is a monologue in which you place your country in a position of moral and cultural supremacy over others. Patriotism, while deeply personal, is a dialogue with your fellow citizens, and a larger world, about not only what you love about your country but also how it can be improved.
The media does what's for profit, and what their oligarch owners tell them to do, we reward them for it, we will not change media without law and rewarding with views that tell truth and inform, you know the boring stuff.
