One of them owns the Washington Post. Another owns TwitterX. One used to host a TV show on NBC. Another owns Facebook. Joe & Mika will be added later, maybe. Not what you expected after what happened on January 6, 2021, eh?

Tepid Media, Yes – Liberal, Certainly Not
“…of the 257 news/talk stations owned by the top five commercial station owners reveals that 91 percent of the total weekday talk radio programming is conservative, and 9 percent is progressive.” -The Structural Imbalance of Political Talk Radio.
More dialogue on liberal messaging can be found here; conservative radio targets Latino communities too. Rush Limbaugh is no longer with us but the industry he created is alive and well, sadly..
Anyone know of any billionaire Liberals who might buy up some radio & TV networks for us to use?? It just might help to make activist folks’ job quite a bit easier. Just sayin’.

“Rupert Murdoch’s lie machine is directly responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans, the poisoning of our democracy and the stoking of a cold civil war. There has never been anything like it and it is beyond terrible for the country. Bar none, Rupert Murdoch is the worst and most dangerous immigrant to ever arrive on American soil. There are no words for the awfulness of his cancerous network.” -Steve Schmidt, former Republican consultant
So, Democratic leadership: at what point do we wake-t-f-up and finally do something about it? Or is it we’re with Joe & Mika? If so, how many unpaid progressive activists can we afford to lose?

Who Will Protect Social Security & Medicare?
Unfortunately, MAGA Republicans have majority in the House, Senate, White House and U.S. Supreme Court. After mass-deportation, their first order of business is to protect the interests of the wealthy and their tax cuts. Only working class Americans stand in there way. Is that enough?
It’s important we keep the heat on Republican Rep. Valadao, 202-225-4695 in Washington, D.C. or 559-460-6070 in Hanford. More to come, we suspect..

Who’s On Your School Board?
Daily Kos has an article which explains well the xenophobic tendencies of some in our society. “Unless we are consistent with efforts before there’s an incident to have the kind of measured conversations about race and racism, we’re never going to get out of this kind of cycle,” said Elaine Gross, with the group Erase Racism.
