Youre gonna meed to support this flagrant fantasy of yours with the names of those ”leftish” capitalists. Plenty of evidence far right extremists such as Rupert Murdoch and his contemporaries have owned, and tilted the US media landscape to the right for 40 years.
I just categorically disagree that cable broadcasters should not be subjected to regulation. Spewing lies from a firehose for profit should be as illegal as selling poisoned milk.
fyi - She (MCM) is a committed right wing, anti-democracy player who has tried to undermine the voices of the Venezuelan PEOPLE for past 20 years. A disgrace to nobel prize winners in history who were/are actually fighting FOR democracy.
Dear Obama: What a disgrace that you lift up this person Maria Corina Machado. In doing so you reveal the truth many of us have long known about you. A deserving peace prize winner would recognize who she is, what she stands for and would have kept quiet. what a disgraceful post -
forgive me if its unwelcome but my PBS station is hijacked by this grotesquely stale program, aired in prime time 7 days/wk. Not even rick steves (still alive) gets that placement. Unless proceeds are going to assist NPR in its attempt to stand up to maga hypocrisy, i could not be less interested.
My annual premium is $16,800 - just under 30% of my income. yesterday i spent 4 hrs on phone pleading w Presbyterian Health to pay for COVERED preventative exams (mammo/pap) that were “coded” as diagnostic in error. Told I lost the appeals - my acct is handed over to collections. Morally bankrupt.
I remember the period of time (early 00s) when i had to accept that the truth and our democracy dont matter to majority of united states citizens. All they care about is consuming freely with no limit. its not a hill to die on.
ill take this opp to point to the epstein files, the victims of the crimes they expose, and the complicity of trump in blocking their release. release the (perpetrator-unredacted) files.
I wager that as long as we see elected officials in powerful states like Illinois, showing us they are afraid to protect us, We the People will slow-walk straight into 1933 germany.
Thanks for making it clear that you do not plan to do more than post about it on bluesky. Don't expect your constituents to believe you care about their lives.
ah! Ok sounds like your reaching much further that i was - and possibly pointing to existential issues Bluesky wasnt meant to resolve. social media is toxic enough without expecting it to somehow reflect the whole of society. i leave that herculean task to the moon and the stars.
