    and Europe has state-owned media and private media owned by huge conglomerates that somehow still act like tiny little defenseless independent journals when – and this is true in any european country – the parent company has essentially bought up the entire news industry.

    Like you remember that the EU banned Russian media right? Literally inaccessible if you’re in Europe. You don’t turn on the TV and watch whatever you want from the ground, you watch cable news. Millions of people still do that, turning the TV on at 7PM to watch the news. They give us their version of events, they curate what they want us to see or not see.

    Your only choice of truly independent media in the west is either unhinged conspiracy theorists who think “Israel” was a ploy from the knights of malta in the making since the 1700s as foretold on the 1$ bill, right-wing bait engagers who say shit like “women are property” in-between making nonsensical run-on sentences, or communists. It seems pretty clear-cut.
