You have to answer to the people who give you your money if you're on a TV network. That's why Fox cuts people off from badmouthing Soros. YouTube has their own bullshit blacklist of things you can't talk about it. I guess a wokelist let's be honest.
Said another way, we are allowing corporations dictate the news we hear.
That's the core tenant of freedom. The monopolization of those media companies is due to free market capitalism though. It's too bad we don't enforce anti-trust laws.
It's due to crony capitalism. A free market has nothing to do with it. A free market is an ethereal as real communism. Both exist and function only in the vacuum of theory. Both theories are lauded as the antithesis of the other and the savior of everyone. Yet, they are always talked about in terms that ignore the corruptible nature of man.
No, it's free market capitalism. Free markets, even in the absence of government, will form monopolies. because monopolies are the most profit efficient. Competitive markets, on the other hand, are the most price efficient. Not all competitive markets are free, and not all free markets are competitive.
The lack of anti-trust laws is probably the most glaring example of how in the pockets of Big Tech is. People on the Left and the Right have been clamoring for Big Tech to be addressed, but they are the biggest donors, so we get to live in Clown World.
Sometimes I wonder if we aren't already living the Chinese nightmare or not. I have to imagine it's slightly different because the government owns parts of every business, but I also bet the people who aren't directly in the government give the government handouts there too. We know the government operates in a similar fashion. The times they've taken Microsoft to course over Internet Explorer being included with Windows was basically the government going "why aren't you paying us?"... We really do need to assure election security. State and National levels. I realize there are business secrets but yet, somehow China always manages to infiltrate and leak said secrets and get rewarded for it. Go figure. Any American average Joe (I shudder to say this now that we have El Presidente in office) would be put away for the rest of their lives if they leaked industry secrets. Oh well, when you know the CCP feeds the politicians and they certainly won't bite the hand that feeds them (mostly blackmail, or is it some other woke word now?)
The current term is "grifting", but that's too polite for what they are actually doing.
The only difference between China and the US right now is we have a 2nd Amendment, and that's kept them from doing what they'd really like to do so far.
Also, we have people who were born thinking they were free and are a bit more likely to try to stay that way.
As many stories as I hear of people getting in trouble for defending themselves, we may as well not have a second amendment. Then again, there's an ammo shortage. The people in DC who are helping keep the illusion that Biden is legitimate and everything is fine (how can anyone with half a brain look at that and think "this is fine?"), while also being treated like absolute shit (like seriously why don't they just do us all a favor and do another coup? I doubt it can be any worse than what we currently have from this coup).
and if anyone from the FBI or whatever is reading this, I'm not inciting anything. Any ideas of the end of this post are purely for entertainment purposes and are mostly talking about Minecraft.

What you're saying is correct.
Said another way, we are allowing corporations dictate the news we hear. Isn't there a fancy word for that?
Why is this ok? Because we live in Clown World.
