    You would think with their funding cut off they would stop doing the “fair and balanced” act and stop carrying water for Republican liars.

      Personally I don’t understand it how in the world one could be fair and also balanced at the same time. If you’re being fair then clearly you’re going to be leaning a lot harder left.

      You would. But one thing I noticed is that even when money isn’t involved people will gravitate towards bullying, bullies, and harassment by default.

      All the media we consumed as kids of the underdog kid getting even with bullies? That is wish fulfillment and fantasy. In real life even a genuinely hard working and intelligent kid being harassed by a dumbass with serious academic and behavioral issues will have adults and authority figures take the side of abuser over him.

      In real life it is like that all the fucking time. Trump in his first term when he HAD to have actually competent people talk to him he would sarcastically call them Einstein or childish nicknames for smart people before just dismissing what they have to say. Thinking his own instincts were always superior to what anyone else had to say.

      Seeing the media try to make what Epstein and the others did look somehow legal or acceptable is exactly what I expected them to do. They will still recycle the old, tired ‘Muslim grooming gangs’ narrative to paint all Muslims and/or brown people as rapists when literally all the major leadership were ritualisticly fucking children and beating them up afterwards.

      Cutting off their public funding just meant they were now for sale to whoever pays the largest contributions.

      They already have a new billionaire daddy judging by their all the new AI ad shilling and bringing on more and more Nazis to tell us why the gas chambers are necessary.
