11. We need to get it through everyone's heads
Thu Apr 8, 2021, 06:52 PM
Apr 2021

80+% of all the major media is owned by REPUBLICANs. The only reason that Rachel has survived is she has turned into the largest cash cow on cable. And we all know, if there is one thing thing the corporations/owners love more than the Republican Party is CASH.
If you read articles carefully, if you listen to their stations, you will see that the Republican Media is right wing, or at least leaning to the right. They intentionally parrot the Repub Party buzzwords, and report the most on the Republican talking points.

Look no further than the current "TAX INCREASE" you constantly hear about in the "news".

It's not a f***ing TAX INCREASE, it's the "REPEAL OF A MASSIVE TAX CUT".

See what I mean?????????
