The problem with the leftist press is that they call evil good and try to convince the gullible that it is true.
And Speaker Johnson himself giving a majority vote to Schumer & Xiden over FISA warrants just took away 1st Amendment rights that enables J6 persecutions, Trump lawfare and the like. The MSM is an important enabler for the left but the GOPe is the enabler for the real thing.
He’s correct about what happened but not IMO, why. It had little to nothing to do with sensationalism or celebrities. Its all been driven by the massive consolidation of media in this country that took place in the 90s and early 2000s. Over 90% of the media is owned by just 6 corporations now. The media used to be much more diverse and fiercely competitive. Now all it takes is a few wokesters at the top of the pyramid to stifle all but Establishment, Globalist, Envirosocialist thought.
The saving grace was supposed to be the internet and in its early years especially, it was. But then the rise of the government backed and deeply government tied social media companies was like the rise of the consolidated media on steroids. The ties between the Deep State and the likes of Google, Facebook and (pre Musk) Twitter were and are right out in the open.
There’s a name for it when big business and government are in bed together with each doing the other’s bidding. Its called Fascism. That’s what’s been building in America for the last 30 years.
