The "Media(TM)" of the 20th Century was already well into its death throes when the broligarchs, in an act of mercy, scooped it all up to kill it. Eventually, we'll get over our pining for Walter Cronkite and the Three Versions Of The Same "Truth".
The billionaires and their political puppets will find that tops-down control of what's left of the media will be useful in the short run. As for its future, however, take a good squint at the ratings of late for CBS News. People are already giving it all the respect it deserves.
Excellent discussion. ❤️ Max Burns AND FYI, I read the Guardian everyday....an international newspaper which reports much US news and whose readership is surging!
I forgot to say that the Guardian is a traditionally liberal newspaper with a large endowment which guarantees its independence from purely self-intested owners like Besos or Murdock.
Billionaires are the death of all that is good and lovely. They are the black hand of death. It comes from self dealing, hatred of all things not money, and absolute control of everything. Trump said in the 2024 election that the fools only had to come out and vote this time and they would never have to vote again. He does not intend to cede power nor hold another election of consequence. It’s the Charlton Heston theory of elections, you will have to wrest it from my cold dead hand.
They are not just taking over print media and TV....5 megacorporations control the US portion of the Web and could restrict social media and other ways that we communicate and organize. If we get our newspapers through the Web, we can lose there too even if the billionnaires have not taken over a specific newspaper. Two megacorporations control our cell phones and can easily limit what we say and hear that way. I cannot even turn off my Android device, with asking permission of Gemini. Through Data Centers and AI, they can easily use censorship and block us. And don't forget privatizing the USPS, which will limit our right to vote by mail.
Billionaires are KILLING everything that we are!! Read this to see how they do it to ALL of us and what we can do about it!! "Burned By Billionaires: How Concentrated Wealth and Power are Ruining Our Lives and Planet" by Chuck Collins. We ARE living through a second Gilded Age and it is WORSE than the first! We MUST stop them!
I did really appreciate that caller apologizing, but again Trump said when he was running for reelection that all he wanted was their vote. He said that “all I want is your vote“ he never said I wanna help you. He did spew lies, but that was all. Everything he wanted to do was in the quote, “ I just want your vote”
Thank for this comments and conversation. Most billionaires like their play toys. I am sad about the Washington Post. I like Abigail Spanberger, because she terminated DHS there contract. Mr. Burns ℹ can’t predict the future outcome.All of us have faults. I remember learning the last words of Christ being on that cross, he said Father forgive them for they not what they are doing. I definitely have faults. Please subscribe to Lincoln Square.
The Nazi Republicans Should Not Be Allowed To Govern For At Least 10y
The current Nazi Republican political movement guided by Project 2025’s white supremacist agenda has shown who they are This Christian Nationalist movement that the Nazi Republicans has fully supported really started in the Reagan years and finally has evolved to show its true racist, homophobic, xenophobic, fraudulent, dishonest, anti social safety net and pro wealth So greed is the Nazi Republican policy, pure and simple, NOT governing Americans are showing that they are completely against money in politics and they’re voting against politicians and AIPAC’s who are pushing their dollars to buy elections
By polling the American electorate is overwhelmingly opposed to such a government power grab by the greedy wealthy, aka oligarchs, and the only thing left for the Nazi propaganda machine led by right wing media channels such as Fox is to throw as much money as they can to try to influence the electorate But over and over again this “bribery” will not work as Musk found out in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race
Cheeto and his Nazi Republican allies figured they could buy their way to dictatorship with the help of oligarches but WE the People have different ideas about resisting big money in politics
Comment #2: Saturday, Feb. 7. Your catch line: Tulsi, Geogia, WaPO, oh my, says it all. I would like to tell Toto to run fast for the flying moneys keep coming. That said, I believe the discussion highlighted clearly that our country suffers from an outrage syndrome. Well, I am outraged myself at present of how MAGAs, the Republicans, Trump and goons are destroying the country. And the Republicans are more worried about their Senate Jobs than ice murdering and kidnapping kids. They should be more worried about their ever lasting souls. Whew: Take a breath. Peace to you Sam and Max. Peace to all. Take care.

For Independent Media everywhere: The Constitution names just a single profession. https://bsky.app/profile/opsan.com/post/3mdvztzrefs2w
And what do we do when lincoln square is blocked from the Web? How do we otganize a big protest when Android or Amazon blocks communicstion?
".. who counts the votes". As it turns out: Liberty Vote. We must get this on our radar. https://bsky.app/profile/opsan.com/post/3m33ywda2oc2d

They want us dumb. They don't think very much of anyone who isn't a greedy freak.
