    Liberalism strikes again, always performative in their actions and ready to abandon their principles in a second.

    Start reading leftist news sources instead of this mainstream crap.

      In America corporations are people.

      All for profit corporations have one simple goal which is to increase their parofits.

      The governments that will allow them to do that are when Republicans are in charge.

      It’s certainly captured, but I wouldn’t count it out just yet.The old media is absolutely 100% a write-off. But, unless the authoritarians work together to fully censor the internet. It’s easier for them to reach readers now on their own than it’s ever been before.

      Breaking many from the generational tradition that is turning on the local evening news. It’s definitely going to be hard. But now more than ever, people have a chance to really bank on their name and reputation as the establishment throws theirs away.

        We need to start laying our own cables. The underlying technology is sound but they can in worst case just cut the wires, unless we make that impossible. As long as bits can flow from person to person all the rest is software

        I’m sure Barron Trump will fight to keep expression free in his new role at TikTok.

        Religion needs to be abolished, it is one of the greatest dangers on this planet and has been for thousands of years.

    I already disliked NBC when they bought the platform Breaking News and shut it down in 2016. That platform literally helped expose me to headlines I would never have seen otherwise.

    They didn’t have to comply in advance, at least it shows us they have no backbone.
