It's not based on fear or faith. It's based on facts. And it respects other beliefs and ideas, instead of vilifying them.
And perhaps, most importantly, real media doesn't fear or hate our government, and certainly doesn't suggest we should be armed and ready to attack our own government.
Sadly, that cult is coming dangerously close to having complete control over the Republican Party and much of the political discourse in our country.

when it was our "corporate interests" using propaganda to stir up trouble and instill support and fantasies in people of overthrowing their own government. I always found it puzzling that people would fall for it, but over the years I have grown to realize how easy it is.
