I think the media is in the business of infotainment no matter how slanted it maybe be to either side. Lazy journalism for lazy consumers. No matter what side of the political spectrum, both left and right leaning outlets are guilty. There’s really no balance when it comes to media and if there is, it’s far in between. I don’t care if it’s right or left, too much of one is dangerous.
To answer the question…NO…we don’t have a state-controlled media. However, I can name at least 2 outlets that are doing their best impressions of such.
I disagree and say the changes are still happening, especially in government bureaucracy. Obama and his team were very smart. They played the long term strategy.
Of course the Wrecking Ball getting elected set things back for them a bit, but they will come roaring back now, especially if they take the Senate next month.
The seeds were sown under Obama. The fruits have yet to be realized.
The greatest trick the bureaucracy ever pulled was convincing us elected officials have the power.
I think black people understand this very well. Black people have always been skeptical of the media given their negative portrayal of us for views and clicks.
About 90% of the media is owned by a handful of huge multinational companies who have business ties to China. Most of the “news” is a giant infomercial to push China-first policies that favor these business interests. The last thing they want it to allow voters to make an informed choice.
The tech companies made billions in extra profits from lockdowns that were promoted by China and the WHO. The lockdowns destroyed the lives of millions of workers and businesses and the media used their monopolies and provisions of federal law to censor opposing views:
Big Brother is here along with his American puppet.
Reading this list of topics is like reading a list of bullet points for a pro-Trump campaign ad. Sounds to me like the Trump campaign just dropped the ball on getting their message out. I guess having less Russians on Facebook to help them took a toll.
The far left has been anti-Biden the whole time. Before the election there was a lot of infighting between those who refused to vote for him on principle and those who were like, you have to vote for him to avoid 4 more years of Trump. A large chunk of Biden votes were really just anti-Trump votes.
