    About 2 years ago, there were news stories in the US about Russian interference, specifically related to Trump, with one goal reportedly being to bring an end to NATO.

    Of course, now MAGA controls the US media and thus there is no mention of any such interference – as Trump actively moves towards major actions that will end NATO.

      Which media is controlled by MAGA besides X?

        Truth Social 😂

        But the way Zuck was bootlicking at the beginning of Trumps term I’d say Facebook & Instagram. Those are media amplifiers.

        Wasn’t the Washington Post or something owned by Bezos, another bootlicker? Didn’t they even have a fight about endorsment?

        Yadda, yadda, actually A LOT of media is controlled by bootlicking billionaires. Of course it is, because I, for once, cannot afford to buy nation wide news outlets with measurable impact ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

        I guess “control” is too strong. But media clearly is bending the knee to avoid issues with Trump, like 60 Minutes not airing segments critical of him.
