Far Cry 5 and the Politics of Games Journalism -- CLS Side Quest

Far Cry 5 takes players on a wild romp through Montana, where a fictional, Branch Davidian-like cult has taken control of the local population. For some games journalists, though, the game doesn’t go nearly far enough in propagating their endless anti-Trump, anti-Republican, anti-red state, anti-conservative agenda, making Far Cry 5 just the most recent target of manufactured ridicule.
