  Why??

    Social media and news is overwhelmingly controlled or otherwise influenced/flooded by the right or those acting on their behalf.

      It’s pretty easy to explain too. Social media and traditional media are all owned by billionaires and they want to push a rightwing agenda because that means less taxes for them and fuck everyone else.

        They are also pushing the identity politics, so we are distracted fighting among ourselves instead of uniting against them

        Its not even about taxes but straight up class warfare. Lately billionaires noticed that they are not as untouchable as they thought they were and now they’re aligned to fix this.

      No, it’s not that it’s controlled. It’s that none of you participate or share this stuff. “They’re owned by X” argument is just an excuse.

        You’re reading about it from someone who shared it right now. Derp.

    I’ll give you a hint: billionaires don’t buy newspapers, social media and TV channels with shitty-shit Returns On Investment (if at all profitable) to make money from them - what they’re really buying isn’t the business, it’s an audience for “opinion making”.
