     @johnwilsonwsws Sam *roasted* that lying f--k. It was glorious. Mainstream media no longer fit for purpose. We need to build distributed, citizen-run, evidence based media and wean ourselves off of the godforsaken platforms (present company excepted) that are melting all of our brains.

     @br00t4c The article is notably completely silent on the MSM coverage of the Gaza genocide.

     The U.S. capitalist class don’t think the Fourth Estate have failed, quite the opposite. They are obviously very happy with the obedience and obsequiousness of the MSM.

     One of the purposes of the vicious persecution of Julian Assange was to whip the media into line.
     
     The media condemnation of journalist Sam Husseini challenging Anthony Blinken shows they are lining up with the State.
