Mainstream Media
Held Accountable
🤙🏻
Not in any way that matters.
Held responsible by whom?
Western media wasn’t held responsible for its horrible (lack of) reporting on the Holocaust, so I’m not hopeful it will be held responsible for the reporting on the current genocide.
Western mainstream media is a wholly owned subsidiary of the plutocratic ruling class, which also owns the agencies with the authority to hold them accountable, so no.
At this point, the only way that any of them are going to be held accountable for anything is if the people rise up en masse and take back the reins of power. If that doesn’t happen, then the wealthy and politically empowered psychopaths who own and profit from the system will simply continue to destroy lives in order to fund their grotesque and wholly undeserved privilege.
Craig Mokhaiber has really been a magnificent voice providing a legal perspective destroying all the chumps who try to apologize for Genocide using “international law”
