It’s easy to understand if you realize that America is essentially a corporation rather than a country, and that country is only representing its shareholders.

In case you’re confused - if you’re not rich and powerful, you’re not a shareholder. You’re an employee or a commodity or an expense, and you exist to enrich the shareholder class.

Isn't it kind of dumb to say that the shit giant media corporations report is somehow worthy of criticism of the US Government?

The state doesn't run the media in the USA, lmao.

The people that run the state run the media. Your senator doesn't care about your vote, but the 9 mil in unofficial gifts from lobbyists of 20 corporations owned mostly by the same billionaire that owns half of all media outlets? They're listening to that money.
