Websites, radio stations, podcasts, and so forth ought to be stood up by party members with access to money—the Harris campaign and associated groups, by the way, spent about $5 billion losing this election—particularly if they can replace genuine local news that has been gutted by private equity and Facebook, or if they are centered on subjects typically neglected by liberals like sports or gaming. The core strategy is to set up publications with progressive views but likely to have broader appeal. Honest partisanship should be the standard, rather than a pretend above-it-all “objective journalism” that in practice means bending reality completely beyond recognition to benefit Donald Trump.

    When a WB executive flat out said they bought CNN to turn it into Faux News for “moderate” Dems, it was time.

    When all those CNN journalists resigned over the changes, it was time.

    It’s still time now, and it’ll be time next week too.

    It’s just fucking frustrating to see people “realize” this over and over for years and act like because they just figured it out, no one else has.

      Yep, I stopped watching MSNBC over Net Neutrality. Despite being a huge issue for months it was completely ignored. It could not have been more obvious that Comcast would not allow any coverage of the issue.
