    NBC aired

    New York Times reporter Henry Kamm investigated further

    Concluding an ABC television news broadcast

    Three American media outlets that weren’t censored by the government. How do you think this is handled in Russia? In China?

    Seems like you’re missing a ton of nuance in manufacturing consent, and have turned from the frying pan into the fire in that sense.

    Yes, Western media is biased towards corporations. This is most clearly seen in anything labeled “finance” or “money”, but is pervasive.

    But the only time I can ever think of Western media doing anything on the scale of censoring the 1989 Tiananmin Square Massacre is the Iraq MWD debacle. And they’ve never done anything like the Great Firewall.

    As a rule the US government does not mislead its own citizens the way Russia and China do.

    And even if you’re 100% on board with every word Marx has written, I don’t understand how that leads one to defend modern day Russia and China.

    The West absolutely has problems. And it’s good and right to point those out and try to fix them. But to try to paint the East as the answer to stand against the West is dangerous and dumb.




  • Kevin McCarthy and Ted Cruz are not true believers. Neither are Mitch McConnell or Jim Jordan. MTG and Boeburt may have been at one point. Judge Cannon probably is.

    Most of them just get behind him to ride his political wake instead of getting run over by it. They don’t have illusions that they can control him at this point.

    They are dumb, but not fall for Trump’s bullshit dumb. They’re dumb in that they’re willing to trade the future of the country for short term money and power. They can’t see how a rising tide lifts all boats.

    Huh, so actual advertising of the instance might be a bad idea?

    What are you thinking for the longevity/stability of this project? I’ll look around and see if I can find anything about that, maybe in !main .

    I love the domain name by the way.
