I'm not sure Terry Moran's employment at ABC was doing us much good. ABC (like all TV "news") is owned and controlled by the oligarch investor class, and they do not want a well-informed public.

and not to mention that powerful elites always gain control over the proper channels, meaning that going outside those channels inevitably becomes the only way for the public to disrupt the status quo

he seems to be unaware of the saying "the master's tools will never dismantle the master's house." the powerful (and their Renfields) tell you to use the proper channels if you want change, because they control those channels and are confident you won't suceed.

not just ABC, but every news org that's owned by the oligarchs... which is essentially all the big ones. know who owns your news, and get news from independent sources. blog.barrayar.org/2025/02/18/w...

exactly why nobody should be giving any money (directly via subs or indirectly via ads) to news outlets owned by billionaires

i mean why would we be surprised at ABC's actions, they're owned by oligarchs and billionaires, and do not want a well-informed populace. news outlets reflect their owners' goals and biases. know who owns your news. blog.barrayar.org/2025/02/18/w...

once again highlighting the importance of knowing news ownership. all big media outlets are owned/controlled by oligarchs and billionaires, and those outlets reflect their owners' goals and priorities. blog.barrayar.org/2025/02/18/w...

appreciate that. wish I could take credit for the phrasing; don't remember where I first saw it. but it distills their main media tactic.

those centrists are mainly employed by oligarchs. they don't want people focusing on the theft of labor that is the root of capitalism. they give us a culture war so we don't start a class war.

it's the whole insane approach of "here's what this billionaire sociopath should do" instead of "hey maybe we shouldn't have billionaire sociopaths"

presumably courts have some involvement? if the DOJ rolls over in court, could a judge say you're not even trying and declare a mistrial? presumably the DOJ can't just settle and give a complainant a bunch of money (at least not without getting sued for violating the Antideficiency Act?
