  • I like this term, “billionaire media”, because right-wing media likes to use “mainstream media” as a slur to dismiss any other media source that disagrees with them. It’s a term that shuts down thinking and gets people to automatically dismiss any claim from “mainstream media”.

    “Billionaire media” doesn’t really work this way, because if Fox News starts criticizing “billionaire media”, eventually some viewers are going to wake up and realize, “wait, isn’t Fox News owned by a billionaire too?”


  • People, especially Republicans, love to talk about the “mainstream media”. That term needs to die.

    There is only “billionaire media” and “independent media”.

    You’re billionaire media if your owned or funded by a billionaire; I don’t care if you’re only on YouTube, if you’re getting hundreds of thousands of dollars from sponsors, you’re part of the billionaire media.

    If you’re funded by a bunch of small donations or have no funding at all, then you are independent media.

    Today my trust for billionaire media sank even lower.








  • It’s funny because JD Vance is overshadowing Trump. I see more talk about JD Vance than I do about Trump.

    Trump needs the hate and attention, his supporters like him because he is counter-culture. Trump is their guy in the fight. If that stops then Trump becomes just an old rich white guy. This is why Trump plays the victim card every speech and talks about all the attacks he’s constantly suffering.
