Media consolidation = narrative control.
As mergers like Netflix–Warner Bros. Discovery and Paramount–Skydance surge, power over our stories tightens.

I wrote a book about US media’s complicity in the Gaza genocide. It's available for pre-order. It’s a data-driven and, I hope, thorough account of how center-left media sold the American public on mass death in Gaza.

A horrific story: A 22-year-old died from an asthma attack after his inhaler jumped from $66 to $539—out of reach when his insurance, a UnitedHealth Group subsidiary, stopped covering it. He struggled to breathe for five days before collapsing.

per usual with the NYT, the horrors people are witnessing on their TLs and TV screens are stripped of all politics and human agency. Bad things simply happen and human interest stories follow. No one in power in the US is responsible for anything really
