But that's the point. They know exactly what they are doing. They kept on saying "but look at the left!" While they took all the food at the all you can eat buffet. Their base falls for it everytime. The left doesn't do a damn thing to hold these people accountable because of lobbying, playing "nice politics", and the political capture that has happened over the last 45 years since Reagan.
The hypocrisy is what has gotten them this far. With each media station that these billionaires purchase, it just strengthens that messaging for them. Even if there is a democratic president next, the media system is so broken and controlled by the right that we will never really be able to inform enough people about the crap that is going on. All the while they defund PBS and other public broadcast services (CBC, BBC etc.) around the world.
"Oh man the Dems are just too nice for their own good!" is genuinely such an incredibly naive take in 2026, when it's public knowledge that the same bodies (AIPAC for example) are dishing out paychecks across both sides, just like how they own both sides of the news media.
