LA Times needs to be destroyed.
The oligarchy needs to be dismantled and its tools of manipulation and control MUST be completely destroyed.

But I *do* know our framers didn’t envision the press as in thrall to super-rich a$$holes
who intervene to kill pieces that could jeopardize their bottom line or access
I'd say, "Eat the rich," but they're 100% poison.
IMHO these news orgs have A LOT of staff who contribute good stuff to the community or national news. However I understand the crisis of consciousness too (FB is beyond any redemption to me) 😊✌️
