God you people live in an authoritarian wasteland of a country.

How the fuck does the government have this much control over the media?

Because the media is owned by the billionaires, which have a vested interest in the current administration's policies

wealthy oligarchs purchased the media, and purchased the government. so it's not the government controlling the media directly, it's just that they report to the same boss.

would you like to know more?

Cos we live in an authoritarian wasteland of a country. Can I come refuge in your country?

Absolutely. And I shouldn't have used those words, i just got angry

Hey, I don’t blame you at all for using those words, they were honest and quite true. I say way worse about this place on the daily

[-] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 weeks ago

No, you are absolutely correct. No need to apologize.
