In response to the reporters’ filing on Elon Musk’s security clearance details, the network received an email that read, “Good luck with that, they just fired the whole privacy team.” Musk’s security clearance has been a hot topic in the media as his DOGE team has gained access to sensitive data across the federal government.

    Clearly the solution is to ignore any and all news. I will be safe under this rock.

        What on Earth does that have to do with a free and independent press?

          They probably have it confused with the Constitution.

          Maybe they were thinking of that Thomas Jefferson quote about the tree of liberty.

          Fight misinformation with action. Edit: Why am I getting downvoted? It’s simple, the current power play can be stopped if the American people put pressure on the government. Protests work too. So does getting involved in your local community and changing your purchasing habits to cut out the corporations as much as possible.

          Recapture the means of existence for yourselves, and take down the corpo-kleptocracy in the process.

            If there is literally no free and independent press, how can you possibly know what is misinformation?

            And what action would you suggest taking?

            And that still doesn’t explain what any of that has to do with the Declaration of Independence.

              The actions were stated in the edit of my previous comment, but I will place them here as well. It’s simple, the current power play can be stopped if the American people put pressure on the government. Protests work too. So does getting involved in your local community and changing your purchasing habits to cut out the corporations as much as possible.

                None of that has anything to do with a free and independent press or the Declaration of Independence.
