    What’s crazier is when WB bought CNN and literally said Faux News was the plan for what they wanted to do, and loads of journalists resigned from CNN over the changes…

    People still think any media organization owned by billionaires has a chance to be “on the left”.

    If a billionaire (or group of billionaires) own a media company, it’s only to manipulate people into blaming anyone except billionaires for the current state of affairs.

    None of this was done in the shadows, they came right out and said it. Publicly and repeatedly.

    What you want to happen is happening. The Dems are getting their own versions of that shit.

    The problem is they’re getting it for the same reason: to trick us into voting against our own interests.

      The news could literally just use the same standards for both political parties and treat significant news with the stress it deserves regardless of parties and they would already look like left-wing lunatics.
