    This is fantastic, in my opinion.

    Everybody knows exactly what this is. They can’t blame “spin”, they can’t demonize their own programming, they can’t say they’ve been “misquoted”, no more “taken out of context”, they will be forced to pick their own cherries.

    This leaves them without any plausible deniability. Hours of programming means hours of incompetence on display for all to see.

    I’m actually excited about this development. GOOD JOB MORONS

    It’s not surprisng he doubled down. That’s his only move.

    I don’t think he can legally have any press at all unless he gives equal access to all press. Even a state-run agency is not exempted.

    I mean maybe he’ll get special permission from SCOTUS, but it will come to that.

    Also the name on the network implies he intends to keep the station privately, and that runs contrary to the notion the channel is state run.

      Nah, not “state run”. It will just get funds from the government and rich friends, and most of it will be funnelled in his pocket as usual, all to only report on what HE is doing or saying. Maybe cable ops will be forced to include it in their packages, who knows?

          That’s what TruthSocial is now, and to a certain extent other private social networks (X, Facebook, etc.), since they’re run by oligarchs who submit to his will. It’s the modern version of fascist Italy.

      The second sentence is absolutely true, but we made our biggest mistake way before that. Not hanging every confederate after the war was probably it. But I’m sure there are historians that could argue for something earlier.

        Sherman could have finished the job. Now we have concentration camps. This is what happens when you let conservative cockroaches continue to infest our nation.

          Can I just take this opportunity to say I love the rise of shermanposting and it makes me feel like sometimes the internet was only a small mistake.

            Haha. I’m thinking of making a T-shirt. We need to normalize openly discussing the problem instead of “being polite” to nazi cockroaches.

          It’s a long series of mistakes. Not finishing off the Confederacy, not putting Nixon in prison for Watergate and sabotaging peace talks with the Vietcong, not putting Reagan in prison for sabotaging negotiations during the Iran Hostage Crisis. They’ve been crooks for a century and there’s only one solution.

      Of course not. The biggest mistake is believing that “democratic” institutions can somehow regulate economically powerful people.

      The system is working exactly as it’s supposed to : the bourgeoisie is above the law.
