Don’t call it “mainstream media”. They aren’t mainstream anymore. They are fringe and get very few views. They only exist because of taxpayer subsidies and giant media corporations having enough resources to operate them at a loss.

Call them “the corporate press” or “corporate news” instead. Or even “regime media” or “state subsidized media”

You make a good point, Guy. I absolutely agree that large corporations operate them at a loss to brainwash the population.

The Lame Stream Media like CNN and MSNBC are not reliable to the public. It is just bash Trump reporting. Most people in this day and age are getting their news from independent journalists and podcasters. Great articles, Gary 👍🏾🫡

Thanks Will. You are right, all they do is bash Trump. They are not reliable.

What isn’t “fake,” is woefully incomplete and therein is the reason there isn’t more outrage.

This is breathtakingly hilarious to read… no mention of the Trump propaganda machine: Fox “News.” Wild to read a MAGA’s version of reality. It’s uncanny to watch Fox News and then read real journalism on the same topic. So based on your logic, if you support Fox News, you also support fascism, the Dark Enlightenment & Steve Bannon’s authoritarian 19c feudal utopia.

Would love to see you do a thoughtful piece on the sinister trio of pathological lying, gaslighting & DARVO employed every day by key members of the Administration to further brainwash & confuse MAGA. That 11% of “Republicans” don’t trust the media circa 2023 stat is because Trump has spent a DECADE attacking anyone in the media that gets the story right about him. He is responsible for the concept of “fake news.” It’s not fake because you don’t like it or it doesn’t suit your agenda.

You people continue to support a self-serving lunatic hell bent on destroying every institution & principle this country is founded on because of his Narcissistic injuries. You are traitors. Those of in the opposition are patriots. Give us our flag back. And while you’re at it, maybe read real journalism so you’re not blindsided when shit hits the fan & you’re no longer useful to Trump & Co.

That’s a non-sequitur sir. Nevertheless, by corruption I assume you’re referring to Trump (& Musk). Shall I enumerate the graft, corruption, cronyism, extortion, fraud, favoritism, incompetence, conflicts of interests, attacks on justice that have been at play since January 20th. This is completely unhinged now w multiple forces at play….not just Trump (or Musk) are pulling the strings.

Those forces, when combined, do NOT have our best interests at heart. Trump & Musk are skillful opportunists. MAGA is of no use to them anymore. Unless they’re willing to commit crimes or repeat the lie for them. They’re gonna need thugs on the ground to keep this going at the pace it’s going.

No thank you. I’ll pass. I like my freedom. There was nothing so corrupt & sinister before 2016, that would’ve compelled me to vote for a pathologically vain, petty, inept, childish, vindictive, disloyal, opportunistic bully that’s only successful when scamming or tearing people down…always lawyered up. He lies, gaslights & has mastered the art of DARVO. He’s the embodiment of a narcissist. They are nasty, dangerous people driven 100% by self interest. No thank you.

Better the “corrupt” devil you know than the devil you don’t.

Besides, if I’m gonna vote a tough-guy jailbird into office, he won’t be wearing orange spray tan & ranting on truth social about a painting he doesn’t think it flatters him carrying on like a sissy boy, nah, I’ll take my tough guys tough, ya know like Putin.
