Have some self respect and journalistic integrity.

In America it really does seem like we can only trust some independent sources and media, certainly not the major networks that are bought and owned.

    Never, because Republicans bought all the publications. If you want fair reporting dont allow billionaires to capture all of them. They can’t say this. They will be immediately fires and probably black walled throughout the billionaire owned industry.

      It’s not “Republicans bought all of the publications”, it’s “billionaires bought all of the publications”.

      For example, Rupert Murdoch is not a Republican. He just uses them for his own ends.

      This is international, it’s not American or Republican.

        Honestly the “Republican” ideology is kind of a global now too. They need a new name for the global instance.

        Edit: actually they need a new name in general because they dont even care for republics anymore, its all centralized power boners.

          You’ve put the cart before the horse.

          The “republican” ideology has adopted the global goals of their corporate sponsors… just as the “democrat” ideology has done.

          It’s a “new world order”.

          Examples… Democrats were once “pro labor”. Now, that’s just a joke.

          Republicans were once “state’s rights”. Those days are over.

          (yes, I know that bOtH PaRtIeS claim otherwise, but look at the results)

          Murdoch backed Koch for mayor of NYC and Obama for President, for example.

          They will use bOtH pArTiEs to achieve their ends, they’re not hiding it and what they support.

          Rupert is pro free market and pro Israel, otherwise he could give a shit about US political parties, D or R is fine.
