- washadjeffmad 2y agoNot My Oligarchs syndrome. I don't use X, never used Twitter, and I donate to my local NPR member stations. I don't want moneyed interests and secret political alliances in my media, at all. >But everyone failed to take into account the fact that investors needed a platform to promote their narratives Shocked. Now do the rest.
