This is the outcome of Capitalism . Even the new Open Access Operators are no guarantee of sustainable salvation. As Capitalism in a free market will always seek to acquire and merge. Or out compete and destroy competition.

That’s the trouble with public service broadcasters, they are not immune from political interference.
Jeremy Corbyn got it right, rather than make the controller a political position make them accountable to a independent body. This should go some way to repairing the BBC’s bias problem.
It won’t happen though they are too good a propaganda outfit. Who for? The establishment. Whichever party is in power. So, you want to change the BBC? You need to change government.
And for those that advocate abolition, at least with the current system, you have one lever of power. Good luck in influencing Rupert Murdoch to sway his reporting.
For personal things, computer, phones, etc. Big corpos cover this by a EULA. EULAs also covers forums controlled by the companies. For public places like websites, you can control search engines by using a robot.txt file.
You could argue that’s what industry-millitary complex is already doing. Along with the media.
Had a quick glance at this study. Forgive any mistakes, but I have a few “faulting” observations:
That’s just the point. These failings are common. That means we all fall prey to these faults from time to time. Just remember when you point a finger, at least three get pointed back to you.
While I agree with you, at what stage would you find a job just not worth the carnage?
I’m not so sure about that. That framing hazardously to the stereotype that the right are fiscally responsible as opposed to the spend crazy left.
I take your point. However, fascists are not the only movement that can co-opt. I didn’t say the DNC has to remain as it is currently.
The enemy wants you to throw your hands up and declare the DNC a lost cause. Not all of them are external.
Be a royal pain in the ass, shout down the adversary, do sit ins, gum up caucuses and for heaven’s sake, throw out “servility politics”.
The only disagreement I have is with the rather sweeping statement:
They keep you poor, and you can’t see through their bullshit.
As it makes it seem that the poor are ignorant, gullible rubes. Lack of money ≠ lack of wisdom, or insight.
I think calling conservatives “dumb” is needlessly inflammatory, and what’s worse, is it’s incorrect. They just fall for a common human failing: confirmation bias, amongst other well known fallacies.
it’s kind of ironic, Tories shopping at a store run on market socialist grounds: worker co-op.
I get the old adage: the older you get the more right you are. But, the richer?
We see the games they play and it appals us. Unfortunately it’s the only game in town. To change the game, you’re not only fighting the DNC and RNC, but network effect and inertia. And some of us don’t have the luxury to risk it. Even if it leads to a better world.
I don’t tend to rely as much on Valve’s compatibility rating as I do ProtonDB’s. Even though it takes extra steps.

The last one reminds me of the Paradox Of Tolarence
I’m sceptical, the only difference between news sources is how your bias gets confirmed, or not. Even “impartial” sources use framing and subtle use of words to push an opinion. There’s a reason exceedingly rich people invest in news outlets. It’s a loss leader. They are purchasing a 20k watt sound system to drown out any opposing view.
I looked at it and despaired how intertwined Israel is in the global economy. A full boycott will be a real sacrifice. You’d be surprised how wide ranging their influence is.
I wonder what he had to give up in the plea deal.
