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.
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.
