One of the first acts of authoritarians is to seize control of the news media. It is difficult for the populace to know what is occurring if the only sources of news are controlled by the government. We’ve already seen Zuckerberg bend to Trump’s desires. The Murdock family is complicit. Jeff Bezos and the Washington Post are bent, the L.A. Times is bent, Trump has “Truth Social,” X is full of misleading racist crap. And now CNN, which has already compromised with Trump in various ways, is about to be sold to Trump’s lapdogs who will do his bidding.
I keep thinking I’ll be approached with an offer from the Trump family to change the tone of this blog. Would I do it? Depends on how much they offer.
