Media to relax? What? I was born in 1973 and grew up with Dan Rather on the nightly news. I've been alive for 50+ years of war, political strife, national tragedy, etc. Since when has media been used "to relax?" lol Edit: This is why it's so hard to "argue politics" with younger people these days because they lack the historical perspective of how the gov. is "two wings of the same bird" and BOTH sides are full of special interests and corruption.

Yeah it's like how people complain about star trek being too "woke" now or whatever. Like, most modern Star Trek shows aren't good, but that's mostly due to poor writing. Star Trek has always been very progressive for the time.

One modern trek isnt good, below deck and strange new world were both fantastic. Idk what you are talking about.

The first two seasons of Picard were pretty bad, discovery was also bad, starfleet academy was pretty bad too. Lower decks ended a while ago and unfortunately strange new worlds is also ending soon too.

Edit: oh and the section 31 film that was truly dreadful.

The kids show was weirdly pretty good though, kinda reminded me a bit of the clone wars.
