So fascism it is. The first step is always to control the media and propagandize the whole population and cement their control over the narrative.
Right. It’s harder now, because we see it coming and have other outlets… but will we just let it happen? I’m thinking probably.
because we see it coming and have other outlets…
Not for long we don't.
The "truth" is now whatever Trump says it is. He has already forced ABC into submission and has threatened investigations and criminal charges against others, which he absolutely has the power to follow through with. Emboldened by the ABC settlement, he has already filed lawsuits and threatened criminal investigations and charges against others. Do you honestly think that any other media outlet is going to report objective truth under those conditions, knowing the risks of angering Trump and knowing he has the ability to follow through on his threats?
I'm not sure which independent outlets you're referring to, so I'll ignore that part. The rest of your comment is about the behavior of corporate media. They have always sucked off whoever's in power. That's what they're there for.
Outlets…. As in ways to share info.
We already have. Those who get their news from mainstream tv networks and corporate owned newspapers are already consuming corporate propaganda. Social networks are also compromised by foreign entities, bots, and billionaires and have become echo chambers.
What else is left?
Those suicide booths look amazingly comfortable. I wonder if they have a color option that would go well with my couch.
Talking to other people?
Whoa there!
