Great article. The less competition the corporate-controlled news monopolies have, the better for corporate-controlled PP, and that informs his policy here. The appeals to 'free speech' and 'how things have been done for 3,000 years' are obviously dumb to me, but many (already inclined to believe him) will clap their hands at such sensational but meaningless speaking points.

I'm happy for our friends south of the border and a little jealous of them over Harris/Walz. Those two and their campaign are punching down right-wing stupidity in ways average people understand and nod their heads in agreement with. I have a little deja vu with the Obama/Harper era around this feeling of looking over the border for more inspiring (or something like that) politics
