When you allow Billionaires with agendas and interests to own your media the first victims is always integrity quickly followed by most of the best staff.
Being paid to say (or not say) something isn't free press. Which is most of America's media.
Free speech means no penalty for lying.
Combine the two, and you get today's America.
The press is more free now than ever before. They're making shit up and spreading more lies under the protection of free speech than the Nazis did by a factor of 10 to 1.
Unfortunately with billionaires owning more and more media our press is no longer free. This makes it extremely difficult to get our country back on track. Therefore we need to fight harder to keep our democracy. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, purging voter files are all enemies of democracy
Who would have ever thunk that there would ever be a need for this button in “Our Already Great Country”! It has to be a new version of The Twilight Zone!
The papers are useless. So are the TV networks and Talk Radio. No more crusading publishers anymore. Just billionaire ahd/or corporate owners who do NOT want to pay their fair share of TAXES. That's why they propped up Trump and undercut Kamala. Democrats would make them pay taxes.
And they all publish the exact same stuff. You've seen one, you've seen them all: boring, repetitive, exclusive.Trump is everywhere, dominating all the media. It does not matter if they praise him or scold him: he and his lies get the attention and that's all he needs.
.. well, there you go.. even #oxford dictionary agrees 2+2 = #corruption , always thought #capitalism is an #economic system and #democracy is the political system.. long sigh 😮💨
In true dictatorial fashion, Trump mob will continue to repeat the biggest lies and blame immigrants for everything under the sun, but fail to see how they are nothing more than criminals who should have been jailed decades ago for crimes against humanity …
As long as the Press are "profit oriented corporations", you never will have a free press..
There will be always a political mainstream (be it taxcuts, be it fear, etc) which will define the direction of the press and their messaging ....
Who should we trust? What "press"? The Washington post? Nope. La Times? Nope. Abc "news"? I'll never watch them again. Cnn? No. It's very discouraging.

For the free press to not be free but bought & paid for is frankly unAmerican - & if by a "government official", unconstitutional🤔

The free press is dead.
He wants to control EVERYTHING, so I predict we’ll be slowly muzzled over the next few years…
RESIST! 💙🇺🇸😎
But how might have history turned if Milton, Locke, Voltaire, Franklin, et. al. had chosen to argue for honest and informed speech and press?
Maybe ‘free’ - on its own at least - isn’t the moral panacea they assumed it to be?
