bewildering to me that this hasn't been seen as the concerted effort it obviously is when clear channel's 30 year campaign to buy all local broadcast media in the US is Right There. ~So Strange~ that conservative rags never seem to get the Private Equity treatment, too.
What now? Who says this?
Time to make bumper stickers that say “I DON’T BELIEVE THE CONSERVATIVE MEDIA”
I don't recall hearing any Dems say that, but there's not much they can do that SCOTUS wouldn't strike down
Glad the First Amendment preserves a marketplace of ideas and avoids something terrible like the government regulating that news outlets not be 24/7 fascist propaganda
What Dems are saying that? Come on.
Genuinely curious, who is saying the first line?
At this point, if I could go back in time, second after killing Hitler would be stopping Bill Clinton from signing off on media deregulation. It did untold damage starting immediately (anyone else remember "Al Gore is a pathological liar?") Not to mention nonpolitical stuff like destroying FM radio.
Someone on here was arguing for a Democratic party media network and paper as a better investment than dumping the next $100 million into political ads in Presidential election years and I agree it's time. Capital and the right are nearly done consuming for-profit media in this country.
