Their goal really is to consolidate national media as well as what’s left of local broadcast “news” under the ownership of one right wing company. These companies get to dominate local and national media, and Republicans get to leverage that power to spread party propaganda and censor critics. It’s quite the unholy symbiosis.
Ah, the fight to be the last man standing as offical state media.
Democrats better run on breaking up monopolies.
And controlling foreign media ownership, and cross-channel media holdings, and media outlets serving as conduits for propaganda.
How will they find the time, with all the strongly worded letters to write
They won’t. They will put in 100% effort into defeating Mamdami.
Yet another fresh hell awaits.
“Free speech” extends to Lemmy where you get censored for suggesting Americans should actually put up a fight.
You can stop being a shit stirrer any time now. You never answered my question btw, what exactly are you demanding people do? You won’t answer, because you’re just trying to get people riled up and senselessly killed.
Bad news. People are already being senselessly killed, it’s escalating, and the people doing it are increasingly emboldened and the few remaining guardrails collapsing every day. I don’t know what you think you’re avoiding by playing nice.
And like what if we just like didn’t tune in?
Then they’ll organize a pogrom against people like you and you won’t even know it’s coming.
Then you get absolutely fucked over anyway because we live in a society and other people will still tune in to the propaganda. It has to be stopped; ignoring it doesn’t fucking work.
Feckless = emboldened by zero pushback
