Capitalism's profit motive naturally drives the very rich & the corporations into buying politicians & controlling the media.
It's much cheaper for them to do that than the alternative of allowing
regulations that protect people & the planet,
taxation that shares wealth &
an informed democracy

I don’t know why, and I don’t want to make a big hairy deal out it so ICE’s Special Media Prosecutor Division doesn’t notice, but People Magazine has been incredibly straightforward with their Trump headlines when he’s being a weird old asshole.
They’re a quiet Facebook behemoth, so this is good.

Let’s be clear: The DOJ has already been subpoenaed. They’re legally obligated to release the full Epstein files—and they’re still dragging their feet.
It’s a shame we’ve even gotten to the point of needing a discharge petition.

Asked about Tommy Robinson supporting her asylum plans Shabana Mahmood replies that "Tommy Robinson doesn't even think I'm actually English, so he will certainly not be supporting anything I've got to say."

If you want people to believe a different story, you have to tell a different story. And more than tell it. People learn by example. They must be shown the truth that, for example, immigrants are awesome, respecting other races is rewarding, working people generate our wealth, and so on.

The Daily Mail has been relentlessly attacking the BBC over the editing of Trump quotes in a documentary and look:
It completely fabricated a quote from a BBC presenter. Robinson should sue them for, ooh, at least $2 billion dollars as it’s worse than what they accused the BBC of.

Climate breakdown is driven by a storm of lies. This lying is systemic, funded and coordinated, and operates across almost all media, old and new.

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far
