He has sort of a point buried deep in there; He’s just not making it well.

Partly that any press is good press. Nazis are (still) a small enough subculture that it’s not worth advertising them as the main counterculture.

Concluding an ABC television news broadcast

Three American media outlets that weren’t censored by the government. How do you think this is handled in Russia? In China?

Seems like you’re missing a ton of nuance in manufacturing consent, and have turned from the frying pan into the fire in that sense.

Yes, Western media is biased towards corporations. This is most clearly seen in anything labeled “finance” or “money”, but is pervasive.

But the only time I can ever think of Western media doing anything on the scale of censoring the 1989 Tiananmin Square Massacre is the Iraq MWD debacle. And they’ve never done anything like the Great Firewall.

As a rule the US government does not mislead its own citizens the way Russia and China do.

And even if you’re 100% on board with every word Marx has written, I don’t understand how that leads one to defend modern day Russia and China.

The West absolutely has problems. And it’s good and right to point those out and try to fix them. But to try to paint the East as the answer to stand against the West is dangerous and dumb.

The Ohio Republican party just made a brazen attempt to consolidate power (and failed).

They tried to effectively remove citizen initiatives, because the legislature doesn’t control those.

The “unfortunately” is weird. The judge is supposed to interpret law, not decide it. And he’s determined that this law conflicts with inalienable rights in another law for a particular reason.

I understand people think it’s not broad enough, but more specific is more defensible, and more likely to stick.
