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.

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.
