Donald Trump said he would “fire” the ABC News journalist who grilled him about his past comments during a panel at the National Association of Black Journalists convention on July 31.
During his appearance on Adin Ross’s livestream on Kick on Monday, Trump was asked for his reaction to the event, which his campaign appeared to cut short by 30 minutes when it was clear that he led the session off the rails.
“This woman starts talking … about racism, and I said, ‘You didn’t even say hello to me,’ and I’m doing them a favor by doing this,” Trump told Ross on Monday. “I’m doing this out of respect to the Black community.”
Not very far down the “why is the US so fucked up” list is the abandonment of journalism.
Is it abandonment if it’s being intentionally suppressed, suffocated, and murdered by billionaires? Real easy for a bezos/musk/gates type to buy up something like, say, the Amazon-owned Washington Post, and then only publish what is favorable to the rich
like Hearst did 100 years ago? the newspapers have been locked down by the rich since the beginning. the internet broke them for 20 years, but they mostly caught up again.
Sure. I never said it was a new phenomenon, I just used a recent example
Even the independents have to be careful what they say. Criticise the wrong thing, and suddenly all your adverts dry up.
