   The White House this morning has sent a memo to the leadership of top US media organizations concerning what it refers to as the “impeachment stunt” by the House speaker.

     Anyways the media, especially the Voice of America should, imo, point out that this same Burisma operation is what got Trump impeached and the entire #HunterBiden "scandal" was most likely manufactured kompromat in order to put and keep the GOP in power.

     I rarely hear U.S. pundits point out that Russian State Media (read as Putin) agrees with the MAGA Republicans' policies which really seems unpatriotic. https://youtu.be/jTTo6WWyOdQ?si=Z-RR2XOhCmjLSW6J

     That doesn't mean that revenue isn't important. Cable TV is dying, but they're trying to die as slowly as possible.

     @GregCirillo @w7voa it is not THE REASON. They are owned by Republicans. Not just 🦊, all of them. It’s power consolidation, not news reporting. By portraying them as businesses, you confer them an aura of neutrality. It’s GOP above profit. Always was, but more discreet.

     @GregCirillo @w7voa NY Post, 🦊News always operate at a loss. Made up by the sports/entertainment divisions.

     Clicks are ad revenue. Rupert Murdock has a team he's supporting, but only after he takes care of himself.

     @GregCirillo @w7voa clicks are not clicks and political media is not a business. It’s pure propaganda. For their team.

     I give them credit for making the effort to incite the news media to do its job. But clicks are clicks, so expect more legitimizing of absurd positions.
