    She approved genocide and pretended to care about global warming.

    So yes, by democratic standards, that was pretty low.

    Mainstream media benefits from another trump presidency. Trump drives ratings. Ratings means sponsors, sponsors mean revenue, revenue means shares going up.

    They are corporations, not services. It’s illegal for them to not do what helps their shareholders.

      They ARE services. They’re not services run for the benefit of the public.

      I think we all got a little messed up by the few years that journalism had a bit of credibility. For the vast vast vast majority of humans on earth all forms of mass communication have been propaganda for those in power… I mean look at the Catholic Church for the best modern example

      Yeah idk why you’re getting downvoted, that was one of the most disappointing parts of it.

      She could have tried to wriggle around it a bit more rhetorically but she just went “I’ll bang my head against the wall with Israel just like we’ve been doing till now.”

      In general it was a pretty bad showing from Harris, and Walz did only a bit better.
