Expect this from corpo-slop. This is New America, where all legacy media bent to threats from a despot instead of doing their fucking jobs. They're complicit, and they should be standing next to this admin against the wall after the fallout.

the msms owners are mostly trump supporters. besides obvious fox, cnn was the template to make it foxlite to trick would be boomers/xers on the fence politically, but not intuitively to actually verify said news.

Buddy have you every read a history book in your life? This isnt new at all

William Fox (who was a monumental bastard of the highest order) went to prison in the 1940s because he thought FDR would allow him to monopolize the film industry in return for helping to convince Americans to join the war effort. Fox founded the March of Dimes. Yes, that was the original "Fox News" I guess you could say.

So what's happening isn't the new America, it's the old America with the worst possible person in charge. Ever since I could vote, I've been voting for FDR even though I know that's not what I'm going to get. If anything good comes out of this disaster, it will be that an Obama-like figure (I don't give a shit what anybody thinks of him, he was objectively a very good president and historians will remember him as such) will win an election and be able to get things done with an FDR-like mandate. Trump has really opened the hatches for all kinds of horrible backlash.
