That is one way to spin it I suppose if you ignore that Vice Media declared bankruptcy, Media Matters has laid off nearly their entire staff, LA Times is hemorrhaging staff, and most of the industry seems in a panic.

No one buys physical copies of their publications, online ad rates have plummeted, and the high interest rates are causing any who had corporate debt to be killed off by their inability to service that debt. AI content generators will wipe them all out, including some on the political right.

The Hollywood Reporter, The Sun, and the Daily Beast all announced layoffs this week. The Daily Beast in particular offered buyouts to 70% of their unionized staff.

Yeah, start ANOTHER thread.

Keep “flooding the zone”, bro.

We should all listen to the guy who just trolls and reads (copy and pastes) extreme far-right nonsense.

Cope harder, liar.

Aaaand look what happens when one side calls all media fake and installs far right leadership across the board.

MAGA doesn’t read real news. So this is, like, super shocking.

What institution is the far-right going to **** on next?

Ya they want to eliminate the media, the FBI, the IRS, schools, justice system, etc.

Nope. Because they don't like getting caught being corrupt.

No FBI, no justice system, no IRS, no media, no accountability. I think they like that.

I know that if I were planning some corruption then it would be easier if those entities weren't around.
