It’s no secret the US Oligarchs are trying to muzzle the free press and when you have more money than god, you buy up as much of the media as possible.
The MSM in the US is now the most concentrated, narrow, and conservative since our nation was founded. The Republican controlled congress and Bush’s FCC moved to allow media consolidation…good ole Rupert isn’t the only right winger moving in on the US Media.
We at least have the internet…but Trump is planning to shut that down as well.
He will try to do to Nevada what he did to Israel–distort the news to try to hand political power over to the GOP (aka Netanyahu in Israel). He created a free paper for Israelis and it quickly out competed all the serious newspapers there, it is relentlessly pushed an ugly, hawkish line. Israeli politics followed suit, to the dismay of normal, intelligent Israelis.
I’ll have very mixed emotions on the day when Adelson, Rupert Murdoch and Dick Cheney are fighting it out to see who gets the blood of the last unicorn. I’ll be sad about the extinction of the unicorns, but it won’t be without at least some silver lining.
The Kochs, this Adelson asshole, and Murdoch and Ailes are seriously right out of the movies with this cabal crap. This is some movie villain stuff right here. I truly can’t fathom people who have it all, and still want more. It hurts my brain.
I always thought of Ariel Sharon being Jabba, actually. And that stupid Muppet that was hanging around Jabba and laughing reminded me of Yasser Arafat. I thought the two should have patched up their differences and gone out as “Ariel and Yasser as Jabba and that Muppet cackling near Jabba.”
And yet I know of none that actually do so. I’m sure there are many, but no one I ask knows of a school conforming to that bit of insanity. Of course if the legge doesn’t start funding schools again it will all be moot.
