In this week’s Elie v. U.S., our justice correspondent asks why the media is obsessing over Obama’s Cheesecake Factory joke while largely ignoring allegations of Trump’s sexual assaults. Plus: Republicans prepare to cry election fraud.

    People forgot that major news outlets are now owned by handful of oligarchs. So, it’s in their every interest to put the story under the rug.

    Legacy media loves Trump. They created him and they will never betray him. Legacy media are all nazi cockroaches who should be treated as such.

    Support independent media.

    Because Trump will sic FCC chair Brendan Carr on them, if they mention anything “bad” about Dear Leader.

    Mainstream media’s been cucked by a NY conman grifter with a penchant for lawsuits.

    They’re not.

    If you mean why don’t CNN, Fox, NBC, MSNBC, and whatever other mainstream cable 24-hour news aggregator consistently report on it… They’re not really news agencies. They work and live on ratings. So they report whatever makes them money and should not be treated as news.

      Depends on what you mean by “media”, there are many varieties and many owners. Fox for example is owned by the Murdoch family.

      Incorrect. It’s big media’s job is to support the system, to generally keep the status quo. Any time they move beyond this, it’s on purpose to line up with current regime or the desires of the owners. They also will move away from status quo when people are getting riled up and need to be calmed down through superficial actions made to make you think something is being done.

    This is the billionaire’s world. We are the NPCs, laying down on the tracks of capitalism so they can sacrifice us for a buck. Caring about two evil men torturing and raping an innocent 13 year old doesn’t put money in their pockets.
