"His analysis of our media systems could fuel a deep cynicism about the corruption inherent in human institutions," writes @joshuabenton.com of McChesney.

Robert W. McChesney, America’s leading left-wing critic of corporate media, has died
After studying the early days of radio, McChesney developed a holistic critique of media structures that exposed how open they were to manipulation by those in power.

Americans are going hungry under Trump. Food banks across the country — already strained by deep cuts to locally grown food programs — the U.S. Department of Agriculture is canceling $500 million in expected food deliveries, further disrupting aid as demand continues to grow.

Russia kidnaps Ukrainian children and gives them to Russians to erase their heritage and demoralize Ukraine. Over 20,000 so far. And the US just stopped helping track these kids and likely deleted the database of all the research. Pure evil, right maga?

This suggests that DOGE has done nothing to cut spending.
