The left's control of the media...

Jimmy Kimmel: “If you’re keeping track of who controls our media now, we have Rupert Murdoch and Larry Ellison in charge of the world’s largest social media platform, TikTok. Elon Musk runs ‘X.’ Mark Zuckerberg has Facebook. Rupert Murdoch’s son runs Fox News, the Wall Street Journal, and the New York Post. And Larry Ellison’s son owns Paramount and CBS. Other than that though, these guys don’t have any way to get their message out. The ‘left-wing libtards’ control everything, and it isn’t fair.”

And what's left of the "liberal" media does nor think it is fair to tell their listeners and viewers and readers what FOX and all the rest are doing. Report on them. They should not be off-limits.

Creates better, informs better, entertains better, builds audiences better, sets trends better, makes art better, acts better, sings better, innovates better, teaches better…and so much more.

It's been a 40 to 45 year heist of the American brain.

When the majority of news stations tell the truth, they call them fake news, lefty, or liberal. Maybe we need to label the lame ass minority what they really are. Propaganda puppets. Devoid of reporting the truth.

Plus on MSNBC, the only "liberal" network, about half of their on-air people are Republicans.

HGTV has some diversity and inclusion, maybe Trump will target them soon.
