The media is mostly MAGA owned. Here's a short list: - TikTok is controlled by Larry Ellison - CBS news is controlled by Ellison's son - The Ellisons will soon own CNN as well - Twitter is controlled by Musk - Facebook, Instagram and Threads are under Zuck - WaPo and Amazon Prime by Bezos - Old time favourites like Fox and WSJ owned by Murdoch The owners of this media are also very explicitly involved in pro-Trump editorial content. In short, the playing field is wildly lopsided and unreliable and no tech (decentralized social media, lol) solution will work. Ultimately people will have to elect politicians to explicitly break up and clamp down on this hive of scum and villainy, but people aren't there yet, mentally. Such a solution seems wildly inappropriate today, but my guess is that another 10 years of the last two years will change a lot of minds. | ||||||||

These individuals are all sucking up to the president, but to call them "MAGA owned" is a stretch. They'll kiss whichever ass - democrat or republican - next fills the president's chair, it's just with this emperor-magpie it's very straightforward and easy: shiny & bright == good. | ||||||||
