Every western country has absurd news bias that favors the ruling classes and yet Sheinbaum, Lula, Petro, and Sanchez were able to build leftist majorities. We don't need media hegemony to win and it may even be harmful to have our every delusion verified that way.

'You need to get rid of her': Fired FOIA officer's 'dogged persistence' bothered some in City Hall, testimony shows
