❝Far right news isn't a for-profit concern, it's a loss-leader for oligarch-friendly policies.
It's a steal: a million bucks' worth of news buys America's ultra-rich a billion dollars' worth of tax-cuts and the right to maim their workers and poison their customers for profit.❞

@pluralistic But wait! The direct hits keep coming:
❝Meanwhile, the Democrats have historically relied on the "traditional media" to carry their messages, on the ground that reality has a well-known leftist bias, so any news outlet that hews to "journalistic ethics" will publish the truth….
This is a stupid policy, and it has failed.❞

@inthehands @pluralistic This has been the case for over half a century: National Review, the vanguard publication of capitalism and self-reliance, lost money year after year. It didn’t matter one smidge. The deep-pocketed robber barons and Commie-haters who propped it up financially knew what a good investment it was. And they were right

🎯 bingo:
> That such an obvious and easily traceable gambit to poison political discourse was such a wild success at a relatively affordable price for the players involved has set an diabolical precedent.

@inthehands @pluralistic "#Democrats suck at getting their message out, and that exacts a high electoral cost." Indeed! The same thing is true for the #Trudeau #Liberals in #Canada. Their messaging such big time. Of course, their follow through (actually lack thereof) is the real problem. #cdnpoli #uspol #communications #media #messages
