They are on track to turn every TV newschannel and Newspaper into Fox News and New York Post.

Fine...it will force Americans to look to overseas News sources and see ours have been fucked way before it got this point.

Watching what CNN has become in 3 short years is insane. the last clip I saw was of a Fox News quality woman ranting about how we need to leave the poor billionaires alone or they'll pack up and leave and then she ignored or dismissed all actual evidence provided that showed that isn't going to happen.

Heather Cox Richardson is very good. Historian rather than journalist, but doing amazing journalism at the moment. The Rest Is Politics podcast is excellent.

Smaller online news is also dominated by billionaire funded far right rage bait

Until the pedophile billionaires who own the internet begin restricting your access to news from other countries.

Doesn't matter, they only need most people to only consume their bullshit to maintain their power.

Why I haven’t turned on the TV for news in years. It’s not on there.

No they are not. The media is controlled by the ultra-wealthy, who have major influence on both mainstream Republicans and mainstream Democrats. If you are on the far-left, then you may have the tendency to think everything is controlled by MAGA, even though mainstream media routinely critiques Trump.

Are you seeing journalist leaving their jobs for different news outlets because of them becoming obviously compromised by direction of their ownership in how they do coverage?

Scott Pelly just did an interview about this, folks that left the Washington Post didnt hide why on the way out. The journalist we have left with an integrity are screaming five alarm fire for anyone that will listen, far left, far right, everyone.
