If the U.S. media weren't all complicit and profitting massively from the authoritarian crackdown, I would consider it.

@ProjectFearlessness I think "all" is stretching it.

It's very tempting, especially in times of despair, to think "they're all the same" (whatever class of thing "they" are), but I think that is a counsel of further despair.

OK. But what do you think about the effect the cutting of USAid will have on independent media in other countries with authoritarian regimes?

@ProjectFearlessness Oh, I don't at all disagree with your original post, I think it's crucial to do what you suggest. I was just trying to ironically point out that the media in the USA (and every organization in the USA with any aspirations to integrity) is now also under tremendous pressure.
