The New York judge who oversaw President-elect Donald J. Trump’s hush-money trial scheduled his sentencing for Jan. 10. Mr. Trump is expected to appeal his conviction.
Under capitalism their Duty has always been to their owners. We simply used to rely on there being enough diversity of voices that no one owner or owners could control the media and thus the perception of the population.
Now Almost all mass media Is owned by the same small group of people. And they very much use it to their benefit to warp and shape the perception of the public. Because no one is going to speak out loud enough against them.
Chomsky would talk about how a lively debate between very narrow ranges of acceptable opinion was permitted, nay, even encouraged.
Now that “lively debate” is mostly between the maga-funders and enablers and bootlickers such as Elon and the extremely rabid zealots within maga - so there is a “debate” about whether to have H-1B program so the uber-wealthy can add more billions to their wealth or if the H-1B should be canceled because of all the racists in the base.
I guess Bernie is allowed to say his piece because they know full well that even if he’s right and highly popular, they know he is next to powerless in the scheme of things and if someone like him runs in a primary, they can kneecap them with propaganda (“Bernie Bros! so racist and sexist!”) in order to throw it to the next Kamala or Hillary…
Oh, they absolutely were friendly to Sanders because they knew it was divisive. Had Sanders won the primary they would have slandered him as easily as anyone else. All Things Considered however. I think Sanders understands this. And has parlayed it into a success for himself and his agenda which is good. Unfortunately for many people they’re still letting it keep them divided against the fascists. Which is what the fastest one. So in that respect it’s a move that will continue to pay dividends for them for decades on.
