STORY: Trump threatens judges at campaign events while facing 91 criminal indictments to overthrow democracy
MEDIA: Trump rises above legal troubles to woo voters

STORY: Biden's first 3 years most productive in modern POTUS history
MEDIA: Biden texted "I love you" to drug user

Corporate media is failing us over, and over, and over again.

This is not an accident. Corporate media is all in with #fascism!

Which is baffling, because they'd be among the first to suffer if he regained power.

Corporate media is in the business of selling advertising. And selling a world view in which the advertising is relevant.

@QasimRashid Bob said. Jeff said. Mike said. ____ said.

It's just checking on some rich persons idea of what you should be thinking and looking at. Specially outrageous whenever they are doing something shady that needs you as distracted as possible.

They are doing what they get paid to. Paychecks talk.

@QasimRashid Look at who owns the media and ask me if I'm surprised.

@JustinDerrick @QasimRashid in Germany we have public media financed by every inhabitant and still they interview fascists 🤷🏻‍♀️

Sigh. So sad, so true.

I see 3 varieties of US media:

1. Capitalist. Will say or do anything for money. Chase every trend, every viewer, conventional wisdom, both sides, lies, ANY shallow thing for dollars. Gotta get that fix! Whaddaya mean the facts are wrong? What do the ratings say? Advertisers? Corporate overlords? MAKE MILLION$!

2. Fascist. Consolidate power by manipulating hundreds of millions of minds.

3. Independent. Facts matter. Ramen for dinner.

@QasimRashid Let’s postulate that there are still journalists who care and have values. How do we arrange for them to earn a living doing that? Scattering to the corners of the web is not efficient. We could create economies of scale by starting a journalism coop. Consumers of its products could become part owners. We would have to pay something for access. The coop would hire journalists and editors to represent the reader/owners. How about it? And does that already exist by another name?
