Stop consuming the products they push. Turn your screen off. Read a book. Go outside. Go for a long walk.

There are sooooo many alternatives. Don’t have to use google or x. Don’t purchase Washington Post. All these listed have more unbiased alternatives.

US citizens consume like no other society on earth. Slow down your massive consumption and these things you don’t like will eventually fail.

OP: maybe billionaires with an agenda shouldn't own every single media outlet imaginable.

You: no it's just because you consume too much. Consume less propaganda and the propaganda will propaganda less.

People don’t fix things anymore. They throw it away and buy a new one.

Fashion is worn once and then thrown away.

Cars don’t last very long. Devices (phones tablets etc). 2 years max.

The purpose of the original post was to point out that, at the moment, the richest among us own the news outlets and, therefore, for the majority of people they set the narrative. This is objectively a bad thing.

You responded how it's the consumers who are at fault. This is both laughably wrong and has absolutely nothing to do with the topic. Regardless of how much or little we are consuming something doesn't alter the ethical reality of what that thing is.

Let's do a hypothetical to illustrate how fucking brain-dead of a take this is.

Imagine I want to bake snickerdoodles, but I need cinnamon for that. So I want to buy some cinnamon to make them. But it turns out that every food store is own by like 7 dudes and they all fucking hate cinnamon with a passion and have decided that no one should ever buy it so they never have it in their stores, they lobby against cinnamon being sold at all, and they buy up all the cinnamon everywhere just to not sell it. Naturally, I'm not for this so I go online and point out that it is not ok that only 7 people get to dictate whether or not everyone can easily access cinnamon.

Your comment is the equivalent of someone coming in and saying, "well you shouldn't be eating so many cookies anyway. Your culture eats too many cookies. Stop eating cookies and your problem will go away."

Like no the fuck it won't. The 7 fuckwads still are preventing us from doing something we ought to be able to do.

Now replace, "cinnamon," with, "access to unbiased news," and replace, "baking snickerdoodles," with, "being informed."

I want to access unbiased news so that I can be informed about the goings on in the world. I want to make informed decisions, hold informed opinions, and make smart political decisions at the voting booth. All that requires unbiased, accurate, free press. How much of this I consume is irrelevant - completely on every level irrelevant. Right now, those six guys listed at the top get to prevent me from accessing unbiased news.

This is a bad thing. They should not have the power to tell me, or anyone, what is or is not true based on their personal feelings.

Get out of the loop. You’re in the loop.

The US society has evolved to this. If enough of you take action it will change.

Take to the streets for your cinnamon.

Great example: in 2023, the information pipeline of TikTok was not controlled by the major interested powers. Setting aside the problems with using TT as a news source, when the Gaza genocide ramped back up that year people saw it without the propaganda and spin in masse for the first time. This broke the propaganda and people began to see the truth. Then, as expected, the interested powers worked to destroy that pipeline. Nad your solution would have been to what? Go to Gaza in 2023 directly. Get my own boots on the ground? In Gaza? Like that's patently absurd. You can't ask some major fraction of 300 million people to do that. Come on dude.

They don't want us to consume it. Or at least they don't care if we do. They want us uninformed. You're asking us to play right into their hands and just become dumb for the sake of it. Not consuming it won't fix the problem, it'll just make us that easier to control.

And don't rely on government? My brother in genus, what do you think government is for? It's for exactly this my guy - the protection of rights and welfare. Yeah the US isn't functioning properly right now (really never has) but we're not going to fix it by ignoring the problem (what you're asking us to do) to proverbially starve them out. These are billionaires. Billion. With a B. They won't get starved out this way. And ignoring the problem actually gives them more power this way.

Very narrow minded. There are literally thousands of news outlets all over the world. Why cant US citizens look outside their own tiny retarded country.

Try traveling outside your borders.

Your paltry attempt to pivot the conversation doesn't obfuscate the fact that you're not actually addressing my points.

Get the Thesaurus out much. 😝😝

Ok.

1. When I say you are a consumer I mean all of your society. How would I know if you personally consume a lot.

2. All those companies you listed in your first post can be avoided if you choose to.

3. If you were born say before 1970 you would remember how to write a letter. Make a trunk call. Wait for responses.

This is what I’m talking about.

What did you get a Thesaurus out??

The fact is in this day and age you have literally thousands of choices for these types of things.

If you CHOOSE to just go to those you deserve everything you get.

That’s why the US has a maniac as a President.

The society you live in bombards you with information. Most untrue or slanted to a certain point of view. The lobbies that control the idiots in Government won’t change anything. The people must change it. The people have control. Boycott things you don’t like.

The people that own that stuff earn money from you. CONSUMING.

McMorrow is down 10 points to El-Sayed and has resorted, as usual, to blatant disinformation.

But what did You call the taking and murder of the hostages by terrorists.

A walk in the park????
