When you realize that almost all major networks are owned by or run by republicans, you’ll understand why we’re in the situation we’re in.
Republicans yes. But more importantly wealthy oligarchs. They have no real party alignment.
They worship money just the same as the GOP and their friends and only alight with the left when they can market it – see pride month.
That’s just it though. Many in the GOP don’t. They only view brown people as less deserving of it. And are often bigoted racist single issue voters who vote in ways to hurt themselves as long as minorities are hurt more. The ones who worship wealth aren’t even a majority. They are just outspoken.
Not only that, but since the fall of print journalism the amount of actual journalists has shrunken to the point where any new hires are just a byproduct of nepotism.
Want to work as a journalist at NPR? Well, you better have an ivy league education, be able to afford to do a 2 year internship, and it would help if your parents worked here or are significant donors.
