Fresh off his thorough victory over CBS News, President Trump is taking aim at ABC and NBC.
“Why is it that ABC and NBC FAKE NEWS, two of the absolute worst and most biased networks anywhere in the World, aren’t paying Millions of Dollars a year in LICENSE FEES,” Trump wrote on Truth Social last night. “They should lose their Licenses for their unfair coverage of Republicans and/or Conservatives, but at a minimum, they should pay up BIG for having the privilege of using the most valuable airwaves anywhere at anytime!!! Crooked ‘journalism’ should not be rewarded, it should be terminated!!!”
While Trump’s many threats to revoke broadcaster licenses have never led to any actual license revocations, the CBS developments show how he can use the government to influence operations at news organizations. CBS owner Paramount recently inked a $16 million settlement with Trump and then agreed to install a “bias monitor” in order to gain Federal Communications Commission approval of an $8 billion merger with Skydance. Now Trump is turning his attention to ABC and NBC…
Who gives a fuck, they’re all owned by people who travel in the same circles, all presenting the kayfabe reality that is US politics. That one side will fix the problems of the other, when really, they’re hanging out in the locker rooms and you’re the ones buying tickets and paying their salaries.
Republicans love Democrats; nobody else would let them get away with the shit they do.
Democrats love Republicans; they only have to act 1% better than absolute dogshit and they’ll get all the votes they need.
Neither one wants to change anything that’s occurring right now, because they’re all getting fantastically rich and enjoying power and protection you and I could only dream of. Who wants to change the system and fuck all that up?
I see many democrats talking about how they would like to change things, they appear far more progressive than Republicans to me
It’s the follow-through where they’re lacking, in my experience
All talk, no action. Inaction isn’t as bad as a bad action, but it sure as shit isn’t good. When faced with someone doing an evil action, inaction is complicity.
Ask yourself: why is it the Democrats can have the legislative and executive branches and only deliver a half assed insurance program, yet Republicans can pack the Supreme Court in one term and ram through dozens of their ideas in months?
Instead of supporting progressive candidates like Sanders and Mamdani, they suppress them. Meanwhile, the Overton window shifts further right, and the country gets shittier and shittier.
Stop paying attention to what they say and start paying attention to what they do. We have the secret police in the streets now, with martial law for cities on the horizon, and the democrats are on vacation.
