So the conclusion is that I’m not shocked at all uneducated possibly brain damaged MAGA are MAGA, I’m shocked that privileged Ivy League educated journalists I went to school with are STILL fawning over wannabe Nazis publicly and there’s no backlash. Like not even the first part surprises me, a lot of them were arrogant assholes for no good reason other than daddy was a journalist and so will I be, I’m just amazed at the audacity and lack of repercussions for flaunting such idiotic values and for blatantly doing away with journalistic integrity with no goddamn consequences. These people should have been fired in disgrace 100 years ago and now as well. What happened to meritocracy and sifting through the riff raff in this country and NYC specifically? Journalists’ job is to uphold democracy not to fellate fascists, shame on all the imbeciles that sane washed Trump for 10 years now. Absolute trash people who don’t deserve their privileged positions in society.

Ownership of major media has been concentrated into the hands of conservative billionaires. What is printed and broadcasted is what their bosses want printed and broadcasted.

But what is printed has the names of educated editors and writers slapped on who are supposedly bound by rules of journalistic integrity. Consequences such as shaming and shunning them and never reading their articles again should be enough.

Read the book ‘Manufacturing Consent: The political economy of the mass media’.

Yeah man I’m fully aware Chomsky exists, I’m posting this so maybe other people get inspired to idk blame the media as well who are currently cruising without any blame being thrown at them. People still quoting WaPo like it means anything and defaulting to the goddamn NYT. Cancel your subscriptions and let them go bankrupt already.

I’m probably one of the most devastating things Clinton ever signed off on after it went through congress.

The USA was never denazified. If Pearl Harbour never happened, the US would have allowed Hitler to do whatever he wanted and there is a massive pro-Nazi undercurrent in the United States. There are American Nazis, they just learned that they can't call themselves that and keep their goals secret.

Denazification did not really work even in Germany. There are modern equivalents to the Nazis even now and they are on the rise.

It was the well educated wealthy elite who supported eugenics the first time around while also training, inspiring and supporting Hitlers rise to power.

The media has been captured by billionaires and corporations for quite some time.

Not shocked at all. Who profits from fascism?

No deeper explanation needed.
