(15,473 posts)These leviathan corporations are a huge part of the problem, and of course they want to take away access to anything that isn't watered down with a corporate propaganda undertone. They really have no interest in ANY of our population getting anywhere close to the truth that they are part of a decades-long effort to re-route our tax money from the US treasury by a) gutting the non-military discretionary part of the budget, so that b) they can 'rebuild' an already bloated military through profitable defense contracts, and c) passing on the largess to other big corporations and Wall Street through tax cuts and loopholes that have allowed trillions in untaxed profits to be deposited in offshore tax havens.
Good thing many of us wrote them in support of Lawrence O'Donnell. And I agree with everything in your post about Joy Reid, Tamron Hall and Craig Melvin.
But, hey, we can all relax...Sinclair Media Corporation is quietly and illegally buying up enough local outlets to 'reach' 70% of the voting populace with right-leaning 'news.' I know that makes ME feel better.
