      Problem is it’s not monolithic. There are great journalists in these orgs that would resist, but top down where they work is captured by monied interests. Those that, as you say, would totally bend the knee for access to a captured market.

      That’s the fun side effect of NOTHING mattering except revenue and engagement.

      They don’t care what’s right or how their companies will look in the history books. They just care about finding the path of least risk to shareholder value.

    Trump needs to be afraid, very afraid. Also, every right-wing GQP member of the FCC needs to be afraid. Like head-shot afraid, but I’m not advocating violence. Just make MAGA afraid.

      Since the person above me doesn’t advocate for violence…I advocate for violence. Make them very afraid.

        Do take the time to ensure the violence is targeted squarely at the Nazis. People are already dealing with enough shit to have to deal with some vigilante adding to the shitheap of stress.

        Be a hero, Punch a Nazi today!

    Considering all broadcasters had the power to stop this at any time in the last decade, i kinda want to see them utterly destroyed.

    Of course I said that about the music industry too. It’s mostly been really great.
