Oh my. Eating the dogs and eating the cats seems like a lifetime ago.

Yes. Avenues exist. But money is corrupting.

Or OAN, which is more crazy even against Fox

What "news" was this, if you don't mind me asking?

Totally agree that US media is a shell of what used to be journalism. Profits control all.

I tried giving you an opportunity, but I'm going to block you now.

I really don't even know what this means.

I wish the best for you.

Your problem is that you want to censor ideas you don't like.

This is a natural result of media controlled by corporate interests. It's also a misunderstanding of "free speech" -- even when you are free to say what you will, it does not mean you are free from the consequences of that speech.

You want to control what other people think by dictating what they get to see and what they're allowed to share with others.

Again, I suggest looking into how propaganda works. Letting everyone speak about anything (without vetting of topic, qualifications, or direction) has consequences. We are seeing those consequences now and will continue to see more as the propaganda machine runs wild on the back of "let everyone speak".

Your view of this is overly simplistic and I am, in the most polite way, attempting to direct you to self improvement. It is a common issue at the moment across all discourse -- probably vestigial of the information sharing capabilities now available.

It's right there in the TOS! /s

I recommend you take strides to learn how propaganda works, most specifically the purpose of shifting opinion (i.e. the Overton Window): "I'm just asking questions" and "I'll let anyone speak" are two of the most effective methods of propaganda. It does not need to be intentional on the part of the interviewer.

"Don't Be Evil"

(I know this hasn't been the Google motto in years -- when it stopped was one of the biggest corporate red flags)

So much winning!

No one wins a trade war. We all get to lose because of one loser (well, plus 70 million other losers).

While Kennedy didn’t vote against Trump’s emergency tariff powers

Shut the fuck up then, Senator. Your vote matters. Your comments don't.

One more dinosaur who thinks people should give a fuck about things other than his actual actions. Pure distraction.
