The US media help the fascists because it wants the fascists to win because it's owned by the fascists.

People need to stop acting surprised and confused about this.

The media isn't an inherently democratic or democratizing institution and never has been and doesn't deserve your unconditional support because of principles they don't share.

The Fourth Estate works for fascists right now and should be treated as such.

When no one in the media called bullshit on Bush/Cheney spewing lies about "Weapons of Mass Destruction" ad nauseam, I thought it was out of fear - fear of being called "unpatriotic" or something.

I didn't realize the media was owned by the same people who were going to become wealthier from profiting off the deaths of ~200,000 women and children - was that the case then?
