Mainstream media after giving fascists a pass for going on 12 years:
MSMS have always shilled for the right with more airtime, they only try to look balanced, when they are showing the gop as a victim of the "left", and always portraying D in such a way that gop are not the aggressors.
The right produces more outrage fodder and instead of dismissing it and getting on with the actual news (what they're trying to distract us from) they indulge it and talk about it with 4-10 panelists.
It's hard sometimes to know if it's malicious or incompetence. I think it started with incompetence because it was more profitable to be lazy and it's just malicious now ... as apparently almost every major news outlet is owned by a billionaire.
It's always been about the class divide. One of the sides went too far this time so it'll at least be interesting to watch the fallout.
Also not both sides-ing, Republicans are authentic fascists, but dems are content to sit on their hands and complain they have no power when Republicans have been effectively obstructing government as the minority for ages.
Yeah, I remember when "mainstream media" didn't vote for who I wanted...
They're corporations! Run by rich people!!! They might report the news if it makes them money... But we're truly on our own...
