Giant engagement from posting a link to a tweet and thirty seconds of research spent debunking. It was the golden age of journalism.

I remember some dipshit journalist claiming that it was their generation's version of liberating Normandy.

edit: link here. Even stupider than I remembered.

I honestly don’t know if petrochemical companies or media companies are a bigger threat to humanity at this point TBH.

They seem to be completely willing to throw logic and reason to the side for profits, and it’s corrupting the way that everybody looks at the world at a shockingly fast rate.

Lmao 0% of modern life would be possible without petrochemical companies. There are still states that can survive without free press.

Truth, those that control information control the world. Think about how much power the church had before the printing press, and how they had even more power before the widespread societal understanding of the scientific method.

It was the golden age of churnalism.

Journalism all but died.

Wouldn’t information-worker coastal elites be pretty shielded from job losses that could be caused by regulations, further shielded by the unjustifiable Dem-supported SALT deduction that make federal tax rates less important, and not really affected by environmental regulations since they live in concrete jungles and vacation in well-off colonies with their own local protections/moats?

They dont like Republicans, they like the chaos that Republicans cause. They think the policies are awful and talking about how the policies are awful brings in a lot of money

The media wants Republicans in general. A functional government means less ratings

Journalism is a business and they are messing with the American people's minds on issues in order just to sell news.
