A threat to one oligarch-captured media clownshow is felt as a threat to all of them. Oligarchs banding together to protect oligarchy. Same way they use their captured "news" industry to band together and protect themselves from atrocities like Medicare for all and paid sick leave. #BOYCOTTCNN

"It is a threat to Donald Trump's National Security"? Which is a "unconscious projection" of Donald Trump. Which suggests that Trump fears News about something the Free Press will discover & report to the Public that is of National Security? The Iran War, Global Economic Depression, Atomic bombing?

Let me get this straight…it took you clowns 10 years to come to this decision? After a decade of profiting off of Trump’s ratings as American civilization declined, two months before the midterms you’re now “taking a stand”? FOH

Corporate “news” stood idly by while Americans died from Covid, as the Capitol burned, as the environment was destroyed, as billions were stolen. You rubbed elbows with those in charge at parties and functions. You are not suddenly heroes.

You are no better than the maga podcast grifters who jumped ship over the past 18 months. This is about self-preservation and repositioning yourselves for a post Trump world. It’s not about doing what’s right, it’s about your next grift. Miss me with this stupid corporate con.

It's self-preservation. If they don't, they can't later bitch about a Democrat banning them. Of course, the difference is that Fox is 'entertainment', not journalism, but that's ALMOST beside the point.
