3 days agoI just want healthcare, housing and education to be accessible, and the news seems hellbent on reporting on everything except that which could affect any of those issues in a positive way. They never do and that’s one of the big reasons we’re dealing with Trump.
That’s true as well, and that’s sort of what I mean. People and outlets simply are not allowed to communicate ideas which might harm the interests of those who own or are invested in the channels. Or if they are, it’s quickly overwhelmingly countered with a firehose of conflicting information. As a blatantly obvious example of this I always bring up Bernie Sander’s Presidential campaigns. Whenever they televised a Sanders event or some event he was speaking at or attending, the media would run pro-private healthcare segments as often as they could. Commercials, opinion pieces, bringing “experts” on to provide commentary, it was just nonstop bullshit fear mongering attempting to terrify Americans out of voting for a more beneficial public system.
