There's gonna be all kinds of dipshit news stories if the International Longshoremen's Association (the dockworkers' union) calls a work stop at midnight when their contracts expire on the East and Gulf coasts, which they've said they'll do (and good for them). Some prebuttals:

I get if your conscience doesn’t allow you to vote for Democrats over Israel but I also think it’s delusional to think a loss would move them left instead of tee up the next Bill Clinton

Social media and virality isn't the big thing that changed. Wealth inequality, and the downstream effects of neoliberal defunding of basically all public goods, is the big change. A few stakeholders now wield so much power that mass protests on-par with decades past are less of a counterweight.

In the criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups: The police, who commit crimes, and the mayor, who commits crimes.

The linked article of behind the scenes story of putting a condom on Jesse Helms house is amazing. Effective manipulation of the media, amazing beat by beat competence porn, and celeb cameo's, law enforcement laziness and a parking ticket.

So who’s got the deep dive on right-wing PR firms who place these interviews? Because as they say in the news biz, twice is a coincidence, three times is a trend. And fifteen or more is a coordinated nationwide propaganda strategy to deceive the public.

ABC15 did a voter panel with Anthony DeWitt who worked for Turning Point USA, the Kari Lake for Governor campaign, and now works for the Jerry Sheridan sheriff campaign and failed to disclose that entirely as if he's just some guy. Throwback to when he showed up armed to counter the Roe protests.
