the fact this isn't front page photo in every newspaper in the country tells you precisely how much the media wants the horserace, and not the best outcome for democracy. the fact trump keeps saying there's "88,000" missing illegal aliens during bidens admin so he can keep repeating the number 88 over and over and over again, and THAT is not front page news how the presumptive Republican nominee for President is coding neo nazi slogans into his speeches says everything about how much the media wants the horserace, and not the best outcome for the democracy,
there are some righteous journalists, there are some righteous media outlets, but they are too few and far between to drown out the incessant "both side" fucking nonsense which will see fascists come to power, and end their freedom of the press. the owners, and shareholders of these media outlets trade on the immediate eyeballs they can leverage into short advertising revenue
once the fascists take power and start curtailing these media companies rights to free press, they'll sell out, or simply abandon them, to go hide behind their walled communities, safe from the ruin they will have facilitated in the ruination our best effort egalitarian secular democracy
and so it goes
TBH the less I hear about Trump aside from his prison sentence, the better. He's not POTUS, there are real issues to talk about.
Wait what's up with the 88 thing
H is the 8th letter of the alphabet. So 88 is a common dog wistle for neo-nazis and white supremacists to say "heil hitler".
Being born in '88 must suck.
As someone who used his birthyear in his first reddit account i can confirm
It's a secret-ish Nazi/neonazi sign. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourteen_Words
What media companies are you talking about? You mention there are some righteous ones but they're too few and far between. All of the other ones are owned by like 5 right wing billionaires. Those few and far between ones are all we have.
It’s pretty interesting how you somehow turned this into a both sides hyperbole.
So you go on this rant about how mainstream media has assisted the slide into fascism, how Democrats will be the savior or free speech and ethical journalism.
I seem to have missed what the DNC have done to fight back against this slide into fascism for the past 50 years. In fact they actively helped Trump get elected because he’d be easier to beat.
Can you explain what Democratic leaderships plan is to right the list and get this country functioning again?
How do you mentally take rage about the current state of journalism actively ignoring and encouraging Republicans bad behavior to mean "both sides"?
And here you come, saying they are both bad and we shouldn't concentrate on Trump and instead "what about the democrats!"
