They, like the republicans are afraid of tRumps Ire. He scares the spines out of all of them. I've been complaining about ABC, CBS, and NBC for years wondering where are all the real journalists went. The ones in the mainstream are just card readers of what corporate tells them to read on air.
Our MSM so-called "news" outlets are owned by billionaires who are tRump supporters and donors who dictate what their so-called "journalists" are allowed to say, and what they are allowed to cover.
Never believe that i will use these words, but you are F...! this orange clown is own and control by big corporation and i'm afraid that only blood on the street will bring back some sanity, i am Canadian and we are looking from the outside and it is scary as hell.
So true. My trusted local news channel in my blue state was bought several years ago by a right-wing media group, and it has never been the same. Only getting worse. I'm sure the same thing is happening in other states.
I am having a hard time having any faith in the establishment Dems and the media that supports them. It's like they are in on it with the GQP playing "good cop, bad cop." I guess as long as they have their own personal fortunes, they are just fine. To hell with the rest of us.
It’s definitely not normal. But I thought we should not demand normal. I thought it was conservatives who promote normal and BlueSky folk tolerate and celebrate abnormal. Well things aren’t normal in DC now.
All the major news outlets are owned by right wing billionaires. Whether it's ethical or not, those guys direct what the various outlets give focus for reporting. MSNBC seems to be the only MSM bucking the trend on a regular basis. @maddow.msnbc.com is doing a great job not acting like it's normal.
The conservatives (and for they are worth, the data) say that the MSM is mostly left wing. It’s interesting to see how delusions run wild. Self-delusions are protected by defensiveness and denial. Hard to break through the delusions as the deluded attack first and then block.
Money and ratings- it’s up to the People now - we are the last Firewall. Call, write, peacefully protest regularly- make our voices heard!!! Prayers up for America 🇺🇸 💙🙏❤️☮️🌎
Because for the rich and connected (their owners and bigger stars), IT IS. It's always the same game for them, they don't care about minor rule changes or new players, as long as they can keep playing. They know they can go on as usual forever, if they kiss ass and pay up.
Because the billionaires OWN the media and the billionaires want America's new Technocracy to flourish 'cause they pine for the days of kings and queens and feudalism.
Exactly. We're heading towards the dissolution of our Constitutional Republic in favor of a Neo-Reactionary Autocracy controlled by the tech sector. Just look at the ties between Curtis Yarvin and Vance.
Because the media have betrayed the people and the core values of Democracy and the core values of America 🤬 and betrayed their journalistic integrity as well -can’t forget that. The media is Putin’s fifth column not our fourth estate sadly
We have always been at war with Eastasia. We have always been allies with Eurasia. Any artifact that says different needs to be thrown down the memory hole
Because they are guilty of facilitating where we are at! To now show how crazy this country has became under the Felon would shout to the world just what a bad job they have done! Hope that knowledge is a weight around their necks forever!
Because the legacy media has decided it’s in their best interest (bottom lines) to capitulate to this regime. They are complacent and quickly becoming irrelevant.
Because they truly suck at their job and have for at least 10 years. They are propagandists, not journalists. They are accomplices in the downfall of America. Edward R Murrow is rolling in his grave
They’re terrified. FCC is a Trump rubber stamp now, so they’re afraid of losing their licenses, and their huge profits.
We have a leader in Canada who wants to defund the CBC b/c they don’t report the world the way he sees it.
Their billionaire owners want the power that musk currently holds, by weaponizing the federal against their competitors and loot the treasury for themselves
Because the mainstream media is owned by the billionaire boys’ club : Bezos (Washington Post) Murdoch (Fox) Patrick Soon-Shiong (LA Times) John Malone (CNN) Musk (Twitter) Zuckerberg (Meta: FB, Instagram, Thread)…
if you act like it is normal ., people will begin to believe it is normal... sick but true... worked for the NAZI's where people would call the cops because of their neighbors acting ' abnormal"
Same reason the rich industrialists in Germany financed and cooperated with Hitler. They don’t think it will hurt them and they’re angling to profit off of the harm they are accomplices to.
They are just zombie-walking through the day applying the same hackneyed phrases and tools they have always used. They are incapable of adjusting to this moment.
They keep saying things like “this administration uses interesting language”. It isn’t interesting, it’s foul, insulting, inappropriate, disgusting, full of falsehoods, treasonous. I’m sure there are other more suitable words.
Is…this a genuine question? I thought we all knew the media was owned by billionaires at this point? Congress, the media, they are all facilitating this coup.
But maybe use platform to share action steps? The most impactful -> plan & coordinate responses that demand their attention. Help share action of financial boycott, one week minimum, even longer, multiple times. Let’s take action. They only care about $. Let’s hit them where it hurts. Pls repost?
Good question. Although Rachel Maddow’s show last night featured local newspapers from all over the US doing a good job reporting the facts. It’s the legacy media owned by billionaires.
Because they are paid to do so. Same reason they aren’t reporting the protests happening across the country. Buuutttt if you do want to check the latest on the protests, check out @youranoncentral.bsky.social
And let me follow up…. What the media has been telling you about “renewable” energy and the climate crisis for the last few years is about as accurate as what they are reporting now about Trump and his team. That is to say - incompetent, uncritical reporting.
Great Question! I can no longer post on social media sites, the "news" outlets are on. 😱 Said "news" outlets are not here, so I cannot tag them. Anybody still on Insta or Threads and able to tag ABC, CBS, and NBC etc., please do so. Thank you.
At least this SHOULD show us both the mass media’s and the Democrats true “strengths” and values. They are both mostly weak and their values sway with the wind. Especially if they feel they are in danger. Very few people are willing to be on the front lines of resistance. Kudos to those that are.
Because the media based itself on the idea that it is inherently entertainment. They are following their procedural formula for how to keep us watching. It's all bullshit. All of it.
These comments are exactly the same comments that the other side uses. Maybe both sides are living in a matrix and being jerked around to think that there are “other sides”. The oligarchs dividing and conquering us and laughing.
Every single major news outlet/conglomerate is owned by a billionaire that donated LARGE amounts of money to Trump and his campaign. All. Of. Them. FACT.
MSNBC and NBC are owned by Comcast, which is a public company owned mostly by institutional investors (like pension funds, universities and Wall Street). ABC is owned by Disney, another public company not “owned” by a billionaire. PBS/NPR are not owned by a billionaire. CBS and Fox, though…..
We're on our own now and we have to do the heavy lifting. The media is almost exclusively owned by them, and the few with integrity and guts are getting drowned out. We can't just say 'why is this happening.' We have to make them do better.
They're literally paid to do that. Anything to uphold the power and privilege of the wealthy. Out and out fascism? Pffft, "No problem," say the owners, "As long as they don't come after my millions, I don't care."... This fascist coup is entirely caused and exacerbated by the greed of the wealthy.
What can they do? They’re banning news outlets to keep all the information positive. It’s a real kremlin situation. I guess you’ll have to start protesting again. Apparently you can do an insurrection and be pardoned for it.
If they get banned that's the time for them to use the skills they have and set about 'investigative journalism". Just wall to wall negativity until trump realises it's a mistake to ban the press.
@alyssamilano.bsky.social because we've been sold out. because the media are owned by billionaires and corporations who stand to gain by supporting this the destruction of our government, or fear they will lose money if they don't go along with Trump.
Because money
Because they are either owned by oligarchs with no spine to stand up against Trump, or they are afraid of this corrupt administration coming after them.
Good question. Why does half of the USA think it is normal for the President and the Whitehouse to openly and repeatedly talk about annexing an allied country? Why? 🇨🇦
Incidentally, there are a lot of us who, as Americans, would love to live in Greenland…as long as Denmark retains control and are accepting political refugees from this disaster. We promise not to bring any MAGA’s or Karen’s with us.
Have you been to Greenland? It is very dark in winter and there are hardly no infrastructure due to the way the land I formed - with hell of a lot of fjords. You can't drive from town to town. You have to sail. But it is beautiful beyond expression.
Their corporate daddy’s tell them to… somewhere along the way, media thought it became their job to present balance. It isn’t.. if it’s raining, their job is to say it’s raining…
Yes and no.. they were required to present both sides but it didn’t need to be balanced… a 1 hour block of news could spend 59:50 on the overwhelmingly evidence-supported side and the final 0:10 on the opposing viewpoint.. Reagan removed the final 0:10 requirement…
Girl, they're ALL in for this! Why do you think all we heard was Sleepy Joe or Kamala is a fuck up while this asshole was going on about the cats and dogs getting eaten?
Everyone who isn't an oligarch is terrified of losing their job in America right now. That includes the media, much of which is owned by the oligarchs.
As Media has since 2015.
It's total failure to do the job as 4th estate + watchdogs that the career mandates.
Why--I have struggled to understand.
It's not the job description i had as ntl media. We were charged to report truth, reveal lies & explain deviations fm Constitution & ethical norms. 🤷
They’re not. The people who watch the news know it’s not. The people on the right have been indoctrinated to think it’s good for them. And you’ll never convince them otherwise. No matter how many facts you present.

This is why we don't hear the truth from them. 🤷🤬
New ones need to form.
Trump is good commercially for them!
Corporate ownership will benefit!
This is population control. The less informed the public is about what's coming the more likely they'll not organize and fight back.
By the time anyone responds it's past too late.
:(
Call yourself a Democrat and make the GOP take your freedoms away from you directly.
Sadly
That's why I don't watch corporate news anymore.
They have had headlines & reports about all the firings though. Pretty hard to normalize that, even if you try.

Whadda we do???
Oligarchs.
VOTE THEM ALL OUT.
💙🐢💙
There are a few that refuse to submit.
The best example of bravery in the face of tyranny is witnessed weeknights on MSNBC
@lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com
@lastword.msnbc.com
Standing up when it is dangerous is a level of honor I will never forget! #resist
Hint: they are all Trump supporters/donors.
Why would they air material against their boy?
We have a leader in Canada who wants to defund the CBC b/c they don’t report the world the way he sees it.
The leopard has shown its spots, and they found out that they’re on the menu.
So basically a few different reasons.
They are OK with watching the US go down the tubes as long as they are raking in the bucks
so as long you watch they feed your brains with brainrott till you need ozempic to get rid of the stupidity.
but stupidity can only erased by education and not by playing and ignoring
It’s their little club you know,
All these media are just their puppets
The NYTimes is a whore
Biden could never have done this
They get their matching orders from their billionaire bosses.
Journalistic integrity is dead. Unless you get it from independent media sources.
Do not watch them on TV, the internet, any type of media.
Because money
usa journalism is a MFing sideshow owned by PoS billionaires.

Billionaire owned.. 🙄🫣😵💫
We are fools. Instead of posting here like little kids, why are we not marching, blocking streets, boycotting daily, etc
We are acting like MAGAs. We need to get off our phones and in their faces!
It's total failure to do the job as 4th estate + watchdogs that the career mandates.

Independent media--not locked in--is carrying the day and deserves our support.
