Oh? You mean other countries are sick of the war too? Whoda thunk it?

It's a pretty consistent theme, rightwingers grab the media so they can blackmail and harm their enemies ala Pecker, Murdoch, Berlusconi

Lol

I joke to people who joke about someone being Epsteined that really Epstein was Maxwelled.

A 🧵we all need to read as we prepare for another day of fighting for Americans to support the Constitution, not whatever the hell #CF47, our self-anointed King, Dictator & Cleric or, if you prefer, our own special/not Muslim, Ayatollah tells us to follow.

It isn’t the Bible!

And imagine how bad the numbers really after being filtered thru the administration’s propaganda departments

When you goad people into believing that what a college student, without institutional, financial or social capital, writes on poster is bigger threat than what a regime cabinet member says from lectern, you've hacked being anti-semitic & using it as cover to silence valid dissent.

DoJ releases Epstein files containing uncorroborated abuse allegations against Trump Justice department said the files were initially withheld because they were mistakenly categorized as duplicates The US justice department released additional files related to Jeffrey Epstein on Thursday, including FBI memos describing interviews with a woman who made uncorroborated allegations against Epstein and Donald Trump. The documents were not included in the justice department’s earlier releases of Epstein-related records, which began in December. Justice department officials have said the files were initially withheld because they were mistakenly categorized as duplicates. Continue reading...

I had forgotten about her media mogul dad who was also a fraudster.

Good point.

Flashback to 2022 before you share that piece of clickbait from Politico.

Rightwing billionaires and their tabloids cause mayhem. Just ask Ghislaine Maxwell about her father.

8) The question is not whether billionaires have a reason. The question is what happens to democracy when the narrative infrastructure has owners. When the same people who benefit from deregulation, surveillance, and tax policy also shape the news, “public debate” becomes a managed product.

The Scandalous History of America’s Newest Media Baron The new owner of Politico, Axel Springer, has a decades-long record of bending journalistic ethics for right-wing causes.

7) If you want the longer backstory on Axel Springer and what it means when they own “neutral” political media like Politico, read this. It lays out the history, the culture, and why “editorial independence” is not a magic shield when ownership has a political line

foreignpolicy.com/2022/01/06/a...

6) Consolidation is how propaganda scales without shouting. You do not need to invent a new story every day. You just need to own enough megaphones that your frame becomes the default. Then critics get labeled “extreme,” and the public is trained to doubt anything outside the owner approved lane.

5) Why buy newspapers and platforms in 2026. Not for paper. For agenda setting. For access. For leverage. For the ability to decide what gets amplified, what gets softened, and what gets ignored until it disappears. Disinformation does not always look like a lie. It looks like silence.

Axel Springer Agrees to Buy U.K.’s Telegraph

4)Today’s example:Axel Springer is buying the UK’s Telegraph, one of the most influential right leaning newspapers in Britain.That is not just another media deal. It is a power move.It is a way to steer what becomes conventional wisdom in politics, policy, & elections
www.nytimes.com/2026/03/06/b...

3) One name Americans need to know is Axel Springer. It is a German media giant that already owns Politico in the US, plus Business Insider. When a company like that expands, it is not “foreign.” It is transatlantic influence infrastructure with a newsroom skin.

2)This is not a tinfoil-hat theory. It is an acquisition strategy you can watch in real time.Buy trusted brands. Buy distribution. Buy the prestige that makes your preferred story feel “normal.”Then let everyone argue about “bias” while ownership quietly sets boundaries. Think @60minutes.bsky.social

1) If you think “the media” is lying to you, start here. The richest people on earth are buying the outlets and the digital gatekeepers that decide what you see. Not because they love journalism.Bcuz narrative control is political power, & political power protects $. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory

No one would.

All they do is lie

Excellent article describing how being an International bully will eventually cost us. Other nations are making plans without us & in the end we will pay a price for Trump/GOP's predatory policies. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy www.foreignaffairs.com/guest-pass/r...

Democratic voters in Texas scramble to find polling place amid GOP-driven switch Early voting had been countywide and saw record Democratic turnout, but the switch to precinct-only locations left many voters showing up at the wrong spot and being turned away.

1/ Quick update. Over the last 7 days we have seen more signs that election “cheating” is going to look like paperwork, rules, and administrative traps, not just loud conspiracy talk. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Isn’t that what Minnesota should do? Absolutely no one trusts this administration for a fair investigation.

Don't forget, Aldous Huxley wrote Brave New World in 1931.
