I do not engage in legacy media nor do I seek the commentary of what is legal/illegal when it comes to this administration. I don’t even think we will be able to trust the official government reporting over the next 4 years. We will be flying blind on what truth actually is…

Protecting their staff--their reporters--should be paramount.

Journalism is dead

Unbelievable. There is no way I would have settled for that amount.

The ongoing failure of legacy media is a stark reminder that Independent and independently funded voices are now more critical than ever before.

The media stopped being a useful source of information when billionaires and boards of directors got a say in what can and cannot be published. The free exchange of ideas and knowledge through mass media is now a means of advertising get rich quick schemes, medications, and misinformation.

It’s hard to see a path forward with so many in media, etc. kissing his stupid ring.

This is why we need alternative media. But we can’t fall into the trap of fringe media that is spreading untruths.

Reporting on a thing that a judge actually stated, so it wasn't for ABC's wrongdoing.

No, that $15 million is so he doesn't talk trash about ABC & provides continued access for its journalists. iow, ABC was either a victim of extortion or were paying a bribe.

Cool. Now he can pay some of the people he stiffed.

Mainstream media is owned by 6 Mega Corporations. They answer to tax breaks/shareholders NOT the public interest. Corporations are amoral. The 4th Estate is now an Estate Sale for tax breaks.
