36. Well when some of our millionaires

Mon May 9, 2022, 09:00 PM

May 2022

(and there are plenty "liberal" millionaires) start BUYING AND OWNING some (broadcast) "media", then maybe we will finally "hear it in the news".

I mean sure, we can tweet it out (but DU wants to boycott because Elon. Musk.) and we can Facebook it (but DU wants to boycott because Mark. Zuckerberg). But absent any "traditional" ownership (broadcast because we do have outlets like Mother Jones but how many of us subscribe to that? I know I do...), there is no "microphone".

If not ownership, then buy ads.
