Media hijacking [View all]

I live in monkeys ass red Western North Carolina. For 20 years I have had Direct TV, now owned by AT&T. I never wanted to pay the additional charge for local TV so I always had New York feeds for ABC, CBS and NBC. Also Paid extra for the California feeds of those same stations to have a 3 hour delay to see missed shows. Two months ago AT&T said “Congress” passed a bill making that illegal. Now I HAVE to view local and it it packed with pro trump commercials and Tillis, all making me vomit. Plus a Heavy helping of Jesus shows. Congress does not want Red states to be exposed to librul feeds like New York and California. Media is out to, no, already is, brain washing us all for oligarchy takeover. This country and GOP conservatives are destroying Democracy and this country. With Russian help. Our right to vote being destroyed. We ARE at Fucking War. While we are distracted by trump hell, right/white wing Congress is fucking this country up,
