A couple days ago I ranted on the Dems, claiming that most of them--at least the elected ones--pretty much suck. But they aren't the only ones. Have you watched American TV news, both network and cable? It's kind of rhetorical, since I honestly stopped watching years ago. Why do I want to watch Jake Tapper or Claire McCaskill or James Carville or other talking heads with their breaking news that turns out to be inacurrate anyway in a couple days? They are all pretty much all in with the Gaza genocide, for example, not just Fox news. If there is any bias, it is toward Third Way conservatism, nothing lefty at all.
In our house we actually found that watching France 24 or DW (Germany) or Al Jazeera gives us more thorough and in depth coverage of what's happening in the US than their US counterparts, without the endless panels of political operatives and hacks spouting their savvy insider "knowledge." Who needs it?
Print media is hardly better. NY Times coverage of the NY mayor's race has been a disgrace, and--as with the Iraq War and 2016 election--they double down on their biased and bad coverage, essentially endorsing the corrupt candidates because of "experience" (yeah, lol, amirite?).
In short, all the institutions suck, at least the ones funded by the oligarchs of both parties. Corporate media isn't there to serve you, except for serving you pablum that their oligarchs will allow. They even bribe Donald Trump in the form of court "settlements" for phony lawsuits. Fuck you CBS.
