The value of a news media is clear when billionaires want to take it over and shut it down. Whatever targets this administration is aiming at. we know that they are quite valuable to us. Voting in the midterms is quite a target. Anything they’re doing that would affect our knowledge of the truth or our ability to vote requires our immediate attention.

How is the US ever gonna get out of this? This is so controlled money. People with money can rule the world apparently and it’s so sad for the US to turn into this because Donald Trump doesn’t really have enough brains to do this obviously project 2025 is a big leader in taking over the US and it’s disgusting and it’s sad.

Essentially, the Heritage Foundation is running the country, via proxies like Stephen Miller.

What’s even as sad is that the people with money, most of them are cruel and heartless and completely self-centered. Some like Elon and Zuckerberg and others seem born without even a sense of other people. Beyond this, they all seem to have an actual addiction to money and power, like they literally can’t stop no matter what they destroy. .

Why don’t the CNN journalists leave CNN and create their own independent media outlet instead of being under tRump’s thumb?!

With what resources? Who's going to fund it? I'm one of the lucky few who can afford to opt out of "free" media and pay for independent journalism, but I'm atypical. What we need is a funding system for journalism that is independent of governments and corporations.

Yes Cindi, every time a fundraising message pits me against a billionaire, and they come 50 times a day, my thoughts run along the lines you mention.

Steve Winkler's avatar

Good for you, Cindi!

Most people are stuck with the miserably manipulated system that is our default option.

YES! I ALWAYS WATCH ERIN BURNET OUTFRONT ON CNN! I WILL JUST WATCH PBS NEWS, MSNOW The Rachel Maddow Show, The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell, Stephanie Rule, ABC News with David Muir, Brian Tyler Cohen Podcasts, Left Nation, Dan Rather Steady, Indivisible!

MaryTR's avatar

May I add to your list https://www.youtube.com/MeidasTouch ? That is another independent voice that is well worth watching, similar to Brian Tyler Cohen.

Mary E. Martin's avatar

Totally agree Robin. If everyone at CNN and CBS quit and walked out right now, and then started on the road to establishing a new news outlet, it would be a great news story all on its own.

That's exactly what Jim Acosta, did, formerly CNN White House Correspondent, until his press credentials were taken away because he continued to question and stand up to trump in the press briefing room. He now has his own channel on Substack. As trump and the billionaires continue to take over all legacy media, I find I am relying more and more on INDEPENDENT MEDIA, like Brian Tyler Cohen's No Lie and Another Day, The Meidas Touch, Substack and (so far so good), MSNow.

The first thing all authoritarian dictators do is take over all of the media so they can put out their own propaganda and lies to control the narrative. The sooner trump and the MAGA sycophants are gone, the sooner we can correct all the damage now being done.

Growing up I wondered about No Korea's pink lady. Now I am seeing this happen here.

Yes that would be wonderful, but unfortunately all those with the money to start up such a network captured by the Greed of the Trump Regime. All I can say is subscribe to the Guardian and maybe get BBC app.

This is unpleasant news for legacy media consumers. Fortunately, there is an ongoing decline in viewers of legacy output. Except for the occasional scripted drama and local news, even my 88 year old mother doesn't watch these broadcast or cable stations anymore. She gets her news from independent journalists and commentators, and foreign organizations (BBC, CBC etc.) on streaming platform - can't trust American corporations to provide accurate and valid information. Hopefully, this type of consolidation will be dealt with by a Democratic administration in the coming years.

MastiffSal's avatar

Don't trust the BBC any more. They have a new head, very right wing zionist., who took over to redress their supposed "left wing bias" after CunTrump sued them for £10 million.

Victoria Pawlick's avatar

Wasn't aware of that. Thanks for the heads up.

Anthony David's avatar

Only if you choose to watch these twats. Unsubscribe. It's simple. Control what you control. Don't pay them.

Sorry meant to say Maga ...those sickos.

Nancy Femmer's avatar

They want to control us. Kinda reminds me of N. KOREA! 😠

Didn't Trump tell us he wanted "his people" to rule him, only?

Paul McElveen's avatar

DISGUSTING, EVIL, ILLEGAL, IMMORAL AND STUPID!

Paula Dean's avatar

We are witnessing the Death of Truth in real time. It's being reborn as The Ministry of Truth a la 1984. I guess this proves the adage that 'most people prefer being lied to', especially when the truth causes existential crisis.

I hate it here. But please, keep telling me the truth!

Turn that fascist shit off.

April's avatar

70% of Americans are NOT the enemy! Trump’s enemy is the Constitution and rules of law. Annnnd, honesty.

Ray Rochelle's avatar

Following the fascist Project 2025, control the media, control the narrative! All part of the plan.

WHAT'S OUR PLAN TO STOP IT? 😡

Brenda Smith's avatar

Why can't someone stop them and him ?
