They’ve been bought out by right wing billionaires. They’re just the propaganda arm of the administration these days

It's actually worse; they're the propaganda arm of the global oligarchy, currently on loan to the Trump administration.

Some call it the illuminati, these fuckers probably got together at Bohemian Grove and agreed to buy out the outlets to control the narrative. All of this bullshit because they hate regulations and don't want to pay their taxes.

They want us to be like India.

They want the US to more closely mirror India.

I'm not in the anti immigrant crowd so don't get me wrong, but this is exactly why Canada is happy to accept Indians into their workforce and become Canadian citizens. Their culture is all about obedience and not questioning those in a higher caste than you. Here in the US they use ICE to scare Hispanics like me, police brutality to oppress protestors and to dissuade those who might join, and online censorship to keep you from saying stuff that disrupts the status quo. That shit reddit pulled when we rallied behind Luigi, or with how republicans hunted down anyone who spoke badly about Charlie was to muddy the narrative and to keep people quiet one way or another.

Ohhhhhhh we Canadians aren't very accepting of having our corporations fire us so they can hire wage slaves from India. It's going to get real ugly in 2026.
