Sadly, our media became purely for-profit and rarely for public interest.

I can never forget their role in 2024 election cycle.

That corrupted media ecosystem contributed to People being misinformed. They had the Public believing that we're in a recession even tho we were growing by every measure.

Never underestimate the French. When they had a leader who was complete shit at leading, they cut his head off. And the heads of his minions. When the Vichy government was all complacent about what Hitler was doing, the French Resistance was all like, 'oh hell no mon frere, that's not happening.'
