When billionaires own news outlets, journalism doesn’t disappear — it bends. Topics become inconvenient.
Media consolidation isn’t neutral. It concentrates power in the hands of people who need favors from the same politicians their outlets ought to scrutinize

CBS Pulled a “60 Minutes” Story Because the White House Refused to Comment — That’s a Veto on Journalism

With Trump putting his name above JFK's at the Kennedy Center, I was reminded of this article published on the anniversry of Kennedy's assassination. "Trump Is Destroying JFK’s America"

Trump Is Destroying JFK’s America
Kennedy’s vision of a country built up through the service of its citizens is fundamentally incompatible with the vulgar cynicism of the current president.

Trump’s pardons of white-collar fraudsters, GOP ripoff artists & unrepentant cop-beaters cheated the victims & taxpayers out of $1.3 BILLION in restitution & fines. Not content to steal from the poor to give to the rich, Trump’s now stealing from victims to give to criminals.
Trump's pardons cost victims and taxpayers $1.3 billion, House Judiciary Committee Democrats' review says
President Trump's acts of clemency often release criminals with "no further fines, restitution, probation or other conditions."

This is Trump's Great Gatsby themed Halloween Party at Mar-A-Lago.

He's living his best life while millions of Americans face hunger.

Although they voted for him, not one raggedy-toothed MAGA was invited.
