All out assault on the press.
- themafia 1y agoIt's an assault on the truth and on the citizens. They clearly thought they could just buy the press. This even shows.. they were mostly correct in their assessment.
- pjc50 1y agoLarge sections of the press actively supported this, at the behest of their owners: https://www.npr.org/2024/10/28/nx-s1-5168416/washington-post-bezos-endorsement-president-cancellations-resignations https://www.npr.org/2024/10/28/nx-s1-5168416/washington-post... (I keep joking that other countries have state controlled media, but in the West we have media-controlled states)
- calvinmorrison 1y agothe press, the proxy of the elite and wealthy have waged an all out war on americans for decades. They've long lost their status as a 4th pillar of government and instead are complicit in a long list of crimes. by "The Press" we're not talking about newswriters but organizations who are large, evil, and morally bankrupt. Anyone is free to start up a paper and write what they please
- tremon 1y agoGreat example of Newspeak you have there. "the press, the proxy of the elite and wealthy" will have no problem signing this, so this is not an attack on them. You even acknowledge this by saying > by "The Press" we're not talking about newswriters but organizations who are large, evil, and morally bankrupt So the logical conclusion must be that the GP meant something else than your self-serving redefinition. Yet, you still choose to attack the post as if it is completely wrong, and the attack on the press is fully justified?
- calvinmorrison 1y agothe press being attacked is a function of their complicity in crime
- tremon 1y agoAh yes, the Oracle of Delphi defense. Always answer in riddles, so you can claim that people simply misunderstood what you were saying.
- calvinmorrison 1y agoriddle me this, who was complicit in perpetrating the lies in the invasion of Iraq. The fourth estate is dead. It does not protect safeguard democracy but erodes it. Vietnam, Iraq, Covid-19, financial crises, NSA mass surviellence, afghanistan, opioid crises, not to mention the endless 'pee gate' russiagate crap. Jussie smollet, hunter bidens laptop, the crushing of occupy, coverage of gamestop, AI panic slop about destroying jobs... it never ends narrative over truth, every time, without fail.
- AlexeyBelov 1y agoI doubt you're interested in the truth, since you think Russiagate was crap. With your comment history it's actually very clear that it's narrative over truth every time.
