We have a bunch of weak bitches leading this country.
Absolutely. Unfortunately all the leaders of the 3-5 media conglomerates controlling 90%+ of US legacy news and a sizeable chunk of new media are also weak bitches, ideologically aligned with the fascist kakistocracy, or both 😮💨
And yet, apparently, no-one is strong enough to stop them...
The Dems need to do Sinclair Media the minute they are back in power.
Throw in clear channel next, or whatever whitewashed brand mane they are now, iHeart?
Really we should be filing anti trust against anyone consolidating that much media. Lena Khan never got a chance to finish her work, which is one of my greatest disappointments from Biden/Harris/Dems fucking up the 2024 election.
Democrats won't do shit. They'll complain and finger wag until the check clears.
Corruption like in Russia.
I understand this is a vast overreach of power and something bad.
But with thousands of systems failing in the nation, and hundreds of political scandals just as bad that were not reported by ABC news. I’m happy to watch them fight, as a little treat, while the nation falls down .
But they will not fight, they will fold and people will forget about it soon enough. And I will not have my enjoyment
