Miss Ming@georgetakei This is 'Gleichschaltung der Presse'. 😥

We must continue to fight. Tell everybody about independent media.

Aho@gray_witch @georgetakei pirate tv broadcasts on the now free frequency?
GJ Groothedde 🇪🇺@georgetakei Better do something fast--as in really DO something--or it'll be too late.

NPR is still going. The defunding largely affected stations in rural areas where commercial media is not that profitable. More red states than blue states were hurt by media fascist MAGA.

Urwumpe@ilust606 @georgetakei Did not hurt. The regions lost alternatives to MAGA propaganda.

Shadow@andthegeekshall Blank Reg (Max Headroom, ABC 1987-88) ran an underground TV station in a dystopian future where TV networks formed global oligarchies. "Blanks" were individuals unaccounted for, having skirted info databases and avoided government identification networks. He was a huge advocate for bringing down the corrupt systems that ran the globe through media manipulation and censorship
Quasit@georgetakei So what are we going to do about it?
cognitively accessible math@georgetakei NOW our job is to HACK the ones that are still there.
Gondor@georgetakei
Yes. And it is not an attack.
They simply tell you what they will do.
And no one seem to be able to do something about it, at least the usual way.
As Buffett once said:
"There’s class warfare, all right, but it’s my class, the rich class, that’s making war, and we’re winning."
If the rich class aka #oligarchs unites with religious extremists it is a war against the democracy.
ACT like it. Appropriately. ✊🏼
A_MinionAnd it was Nixon that made that joining by adding Fundamental Christianity to the GOP. Later Reagan added Business, Wealthy & Corporations to the mix. It's taken them 55years to build this to what they needed & Biden/Harris almost stopped it in 4. Makes one kinda wonder doesn't it?
stony kark@georgetakei @blogdiva it's not like they haven't been saying they're going to do this for at least decade

This started after FDR had the audacity to do things for "We The People". The first shot over the bow was Joe McCarthy & the UnAmerican Activity Committee in an attempt to take freedom of speech & used by every GOP candidate since.

MissConstrue$24 billion of the financing for Ellison’s takeover of CNN is coming from Gulf sovereign wealth funds: Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi, Qatar. The same governments Ellison pitched his unified citizen database to in Dubai.
About a hundred pages into the proxy, buried in the subscription agreements, there’s a provision that says the Ellison Trust can assign, meaning hand off, portions of its commitment to other investors after the deal is signed.

The War That Funded A Merger
We are on day 27 of the war with Iran, and somewhere in that fog there is a truth about alliances that nobody in Washington will say out loud: you do not investigate your wartime partners.
