The Guardian - "Millions march". Our media - what march? Thousands?

We now have for the most part a fascist, state run media

I expect nothing truthful from them. I pay nothing to them - and pay no attention.

Don't do the fascist's jobs and express surprise at any unbelievable, ridiculous event of the orange asshole and his cult and minions. Nothing is out of the realm of nauseating possibility.

All of the initial reports I saw from national and local media completely underestimated the number of protesters even when they ran stories with pictures showing parks and streets packed.

... Columbus, OH with one in my neighborhood that had to be at least
1,000 to 1,500 people and then one
downtown @ the State Capitol that the
local media pegged @ 10,000 (bullshit)
and I will guarantee that nothing will be
reported on those demonstrations tomorrow.

When you tell them the media is the propaganda arm of the Republican Party. But everyday they show you who they are. We must change our comfort habits.

5. The propaganda arm of the monied classes. More overlap with (r)epublicons but still a lot with the Democrats.

I expect that the NYT grey people behind the masthead are not MAGAts and may even have some internalized progressive/liberal feelings. But they are supporting the destruction of this country to the benefit of state ownership (fascism).

I think they are power hungry, greedy , selfish and they want fame even after death . So they donate to charities and put their names on it and they want monuments. I think in the past some people wanted to make the world better now I think they want to be worshipped. I think you know the tech bros I’m talking about.

.. the election that they started to report that the higher cost of eggs was not a function of “Bidenomics”
but that over 150 million chickens had died or were put down because of Avian Influenza.

for this household: the Manchester Guardian, BBC, Al Jazeera (on line), the Oregonian (print for local/regional news), PBS News Hour (on air)...to get out of my decidedly lefty bubble, I'll briefly skim NYT headlines and, even more briefly, FoxNews just to get a taste of the insanity...I've given up on legacy broadcast MSM... for in-depth, quality writing, I trust Harper's, MoJo, and the Progressive...late weekend rant time for me...I may be getting too old for this shit...cheers, OSD
