TYT has lost the plot

86. I get that Putin is a problem, and a big one. We should not stand for it. BUT, we shouldn't stand

for our shitty corporate owned media either, which did far more harm than Putin was able to do, and contributed to the ability of russian actors to promote false narratives, because they were themselves so shitty at doing their jobs...and that isn't as if it isn't by design.

The working class was mentioned in the post I responded to, by the way. I didn't change the subject, and I didn't reprimand anybody for talking about Russia as far as I remember. I've said repeatedly, as I did above, that it can't stand, but that there are bigger reasons for it being effective in the first place, which again, is money in politics.

Let me ask you this...if the powers that be, and no they are not the GOP...the GOP are the lap-dogs...if the powers that be were pissed off that Trump had one and wanted him out on his ass, how hard do you think it would have been for them to get this investigation over and done with? If they had the motive to find Trump's connections to Putin, I"m pretty sure his ass would even be locked up about now...but they're relatively okay with it. That is why Russia's fake news had any power...because our news blew and blows. At the very least, every pundit could be hammering on Trump for this if the corporate ownership wanted it. They could be clipping his wings and giving him no place to turn for positive reinforcement. What are they doing instead? Even our supposed non-partisan stations like NPR are saying shit they never said 8 years ago..."but elections have consequences...aren't you afraid of being seen as obstructionists?"
