I remember 2016.
2016 is when the corporate media world - in particular the newspapers showed their ass and decided profit was more important than a functioning democracy.
It was abhorrent and there was even a few tiny scattered mea culpas afterwards, but of course nothing changed and it even got worse as we can see by right-wing billionaires buying up CNN to make it "a voice of conservatives" specifically - and CNN was already one of the worst!
Anyway - this article is just more of the same. Talking about "nothing" while making it very clear they're trying to smear the candidate in one of a hundred ways. Her emails, probably.
I'm feeling more optimistic lately though because while it seems like the bigger media companies are being made to turn hard to the right, it also seems like their brand of propaganda isn't working as effectively as it once did. Seems like they might have even lost the younger generations entirely.
We say this every time there’s a temporary moment of a vague sense that not everything is going to shit immediately. After Obama won, for example. When Bill Clinton was about to win.
It’s an occasional problem when working in reality. The corporate media will make adjustments soon to ensure rage and fear carry the day as always. It never lasts too long.
