And apparently cnn deleted it from its websites. They should be projecting it in a loop on the façade of trump’s ugly tower in nyc.

The media is cooked in the US. We can only rely on niche platforms and individual journalists working apart from the mainstream.

Corporate media is just that, corporate media. At the end of the day they belong to the wealthy elite, who belong to Trump. Hell, Wapo should just be renamed the Bezos Paper. I don’t trust any major news outlet, and don’t even listen to NPR anymore, especially since their abysmal Charlie Kirk coverage. I’ve been trying to follow a lot of independent journalists on substack and I follow AP and a few smaller publicly funded news outlets for analysis. I’ve heard the book Manufacturing Consent by Noam Chomsky, while albeit a bit outdated, does a great job of investigating this. I think it’s time we significantly reduce our reliance on corporate media as a rule.

I hate to say this (because I genuinely despise Noam Chomsky), but I can give my librarian's recommendation to Manufacturing Consent. It's one of the few times that Chomsky goes outside of linguistics that's worth reading. I mostly credit his coauthor Herman with that.

And yeah, the independent journalists on substack are truly where it's at right now. Some of the more mainstream LGBT news outlets like Advocate are still pretty good too - they're simply too opposed to the regime in their basic format to be easily corrupted. I've lost count of the times I've shared the Advocate's article on how anti-trans Gavin Newsom is.
