      All of the legacy media has a bias toward the right. ALL of them. The only time I’ve heard them be objective is when they all asserted, repeatedly, that The Big Lie was in fact a falsehood. And that was because THEY were accused of negligence.

      Outside of that, they’re always showing the left at their worst and allowing the right to pitch their radicalism. They need the left to be sensationalist and the right has to be sane washed because reality is so extreme that people assume the news is sensationalizing them.

      So they fall back on “both sides” yet again.

        Private media panders to the source of its revenue, which is private industry.

        Silicon Valley is tilted hard right. Wall Street is hard right. US Heavy industry is hard right. Consumer manufacturing/shipping is economically right wing, even when its occasionally got social liberal pastiche.

        Trump’s made himself the singular conduit through which private industry lands the trillions in public spending. So private industry bows to him.

        If we were in a country with a heavily socialist economic system, the game would be different. Cubans aren’t getting an earful about how cool Steven Miller is. Nicaraguan bureaucrats have no need to appease Elon’s DOGE teams. Nobody in South Africa is producing hagiographies for Pete Hegseth.

    This is how Fox News “reporters” talk about Democrats ON AIR (and in much more derogatory and dishonest ways) and ABC fires him for a personal tweet.

    Spineless weak puppets.

    The tweet read:

    Miller is a man who is richly endowed with the capacity for hatred. He’s a world-class hater.

    You can see this just by looking at him because you can see that his hatreds are his spiritual nourishment. He eats his hate.

    I’m having some trouble here, what’s the controversial statement?

        Don’t stress yourself out! Disengage and ignore it all for a bit. Come back refreshed because we need you! They want 2 things: to control us, and for us to feel like it’s hopeless… It’s not. There’s more of us and we will win. But in the meantime, please take care of yourself…

    Let’s translate this…ABC found a way to fire someone who would otherwise retire and take some monthly allowance from ABC.
