My eyes started rolling the second the writer said “the horrifying news.”
This incident is casting fresh light on norms that has basically become invisible to us in our lives - like the media’s natural tendency to side with the establishment.
like the media’s natural tendency to side with the establishment.
The right wing media openly shills for the rich.
The mainstream media works for the rich also but is just more subtle about it. The main thing they do is bury or cover up important stories that are most likely to affect average people. That’s why it never told you Harris had an 82 page plan of economic changes.
What the media treats as important is almost never what is actually important.
It’s really bringing the corporate shills out of the woodwork.
If you push past that, they do essentially conclude that this is an inevitable consequence of our current situation. It’s a better take than I expected.
I’m more horrified that it took this long for the backlash, but I’ve been expecting it for years.
