we did have some media-ownership limits couple decades back…
Bush and Clinton got rid of those
hence why people say both parties are the same…neolibs and republicans have the same end-goal
Well, that parts not crazy, it’s just really depressing.
Propaganda works, and we really should have written a few more laws to protect independent media before everything calcified into place

Oh… Wow, I really don’t hate Clinton enough, he really just cut all the straps holding the country together, huh?

UK had those laws, but Rupert Murdoch had lunch with Margaret Thatcher right before he purchased the Times of London, giving him a 40% market share in news media in the country. You wanna take a guess on whether those laws were enforced after their little meeting?

Yeah, that sounds about right.
Do you ever wonder if we’re in hell?
