    They will never go back. They will find a new divisive topic to foment rage with. Then seed a new reactionary candidate. When they win they will act as if they weren’t planning it all along.

    Oh you sweet summer child.

    Media hysteria has been ramping up for decades.

    Also, you really haven’t been paying attention to how divisive musk has become have you?

    They started reporting badly in the 90s (Fox News), if not decades or centuries before that. It is on the consumers to consume better media. The companies that failed won’t fix themselves, ever.

        There already is a ton of great media out there, but many people are not looking for it. If you’re trapped by the US news cycle, start reading international news. It doesn’t solve all the problems but it solves many of them.

        And more to the point, consumers have been willing to pay for subscriptions to newspapers for decades, and they’ve gotten burned by it. You’re saying that money is the answer, but it didn’t work before. It’s not working now.

          You mean bargain bin Carmen Sandiego? No, i don‘t talk about the blandest woman on earth like that!

          I swear, stereotypical Barbie has more personality at the beginning of the Barbie Movie than the current first Lady!

          Btw. First Lady was always a title a woman gained through marrying the right man. But Melania truly feels like what right-wingers call DEI hire.
