I'm "shocked" that billion dollar media companies, sympathetic and dependent on advertising dollars from the defense, pharma, etc are not reporting on the corruption in the government.
shocked I am, just shocked....

Almost as if they were purposely misleading us.
Isn't that weird?! huh

(24,407 posts)there are millions of things happening in the world. This is but one of many. Unfortunately, this is how a lot of dirty deeds go unreported or unaddressed.
But I have started to see some evidence that this topic is starting to reverberate/be covered some within the hard-core political community (but obviously not on Fox News). If it gets any "mainstream" media coverage, it won't be until closer to the midterms and it definitely will be news the first time a Republican Election official or state legislature overturns or otherwise corrupts a clear election win for the Democrat.

(19,058 posts)Watch what happens. The GOP will flat out steal the election in 2024, and then when Dems protest and get upset the media will paint them as being the same as the 2020 Stop the Steal anti democracy maniacs.

So while it disturbs me that people arent more concerned about structural changes to ensure fascist rule in the U.S., it doesnt surprise me.

(1,910 posts)Of course do what can be done diplomatically to help the Afghan women and children. But this hearing is a joke.
Health care, infrastructure, Social Security going bankrupt, climate change, child care costs....those are issues that matter to Americans, not this waste of time hearing.

I hope a few red/dead/covidiot states secede as soon as 2022, the U.S. would be a great country again if they did.
