God you people live in an authoritarian wasteland of a country.

wealthy oligarchs purchased the media, and purchased the government. so it's not the government controlling the media directly, it's just that they report to the same boss.

would you like to know more?

Because the media is owned by the billionaires, which have a vested interest in the current administration's policies

Cos we live in an authoritarian wasteland of a country. Can I come refuge in your country?

[-] dom@lemmy.ca 17 points 2 weeks ago

Absolutely. And I shouldn't have used those words, i just got angry

[-] Marshezezz 22 points 2 weeks ago

Hey, I don’t blame you at all for using those words, they were honest and quite true. I say way worse about this place on the daily
